Quantifying these effects is important for understanding brain\u2013behaviour relationships, especially in continuous datasets. To robustly measure bursts, rhythmical periods of oscillatory activity must be separated from arrhythmical background 1\/f activity, which is ubiquitous in electrophysiological recordings. The Better OSCillation (BOSC) framework achieves this by defining a power threshold above the estimated background 1\/f activity, combined with a duration threshold. Here we introduce a modification to this approach called fBOSC, which uses a spectral parametrisation tool to accurately model background 1\/f activity in neural data. fBOSC (which is openly available as a MATLAB toolbox) is robust to power spectra with oscillatory peaks and can also model non\u2010linear spectra. Through a series of simulations, we show that fBOSC more accurately models the 1\/f power spectrum compared with existing methods. fBOSC was especially beneficial where power spectra contained a \u2018knee\u2019 below ~.5\u201310\u2009Hz, which is typical in neural data. We also found that, unlike other methods, fBOSC was unaffected by oscillatory peaks in the neural power spectrum. Moreover, by robustly modelling background 1\/f activity, the sensitivity for detecting oscillatory bursts was standardised across frequencies (e.g., theta\u2010 and alpha\u2010bands). Finally, using openly available resting state magnetoencephalography and intracranial electrophysiology datasets, we demonstrate the application of fBOSC for oscillatory burst detection in the theta\u2010band. These simulations and empirical analyses highlight the value of fBOSC in detecting oscillatory bursts, including in datasets that are long and continuous with no distinct experimental trials.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ejn.15829","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,26]],"date-time":"2022-09-26T03:09:49Z","timestamp":1664161789000},"page":"5836-5852","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Robust estimation of 1\/f activity improves oscillatory burst detection"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Robert A.","family":"Seymour","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, Department of Imaging Neuroscience, UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology University College London  London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Alexander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, Department of Imaging Neuroscience, UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology University College London  London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9470-6324","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eleanor A.","family":"Maguire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, Department of Imaging Neuroscience, UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology University College London  London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cub.2017.10.062"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nicl.2021.102697"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroimage.2018.06.041"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroimage.2019.116192"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0167-8760(99)00047-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.conb.2014.11.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroimage.2021.118479"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroimage.2022.118974"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/acprof:oso\/9780195301069.001.0001"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1099745"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.2001.86.1.368"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cercor\/bhx233"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21105\/joss.01272"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.00273.2019"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hbm.24955"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/ENEURO.0192-20.2020"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41593-020-00744-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ejn.15361"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuron.2015.09.034"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroimage.2017.06.078"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7554\/eLife.61277"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Gerster M.
