All the code is online - Matlab for now; we're actively working on having a python version shortly:
github.com/teresaberthe...
It has a 'Ten simple rules' section and hopefully provides a starting point for anyone interested in the link between respiration, behaviour, and the brain.

We (I and @willenjoy.bsky.social) created a toolbox for simulations of EEG/MEG because we needed to simulate data. Our initial aim was to simulate connectivity. For this short clip, I simulated two sources with phase connectivity using our toolbox.

Two new preprints on multilevel HMMs! Time series data is now pervasive in psychology and new methods are needed to model the dynamics in such data. Hidden Markov Models (HHMs) are powerful models for dynamics in which a system is switching between a number of discrete states.
