Methodological Framework for EEG Feature Selection Based on Spectral and Temporal Profiles - Computational Neuroscience - page 55

Furthermore, the added value of this approach over other classical Fourier-based
methods lies in its ability to further utilize time-domain characteristics of the WT
in a way comparable to the evoked potential applications, without making any com-
promise in the statistical validity of the results.
