Unification of alpha, mu, and tau rhythms and their beta-band harmonics via eigenmodes: spectral peaks, topography, and reactivity

A century after the first observations of human EEG, this work explains and unifies alpha, the earliest detected rhythm, with its relatives and their harmonics to form a single family. This provides a strong theoretical basis for analysis and monitoring of activity and its underlying physiology and, via NFT, for linking these rhythms to other phenomena such as evoked responses.
