In addition to spatial patterns, also temporal patterns can be identified in brain signal as non-stationary components. Fourier-transform provides only information about characteristic frequency components in dynamic brain signals and assumes that these are of stationary nature. However, brain signals are non-stationary and discrete wavelet transformation can be used to separate the signal into both frequency subbands and time-scales. In The Maastricht Study (n=1730), we found that wavelet analysis is a suitable method to demonstrate that physiological measures are associated with specific frequency subbands of the BOLD signal, and to separate the neurovascular signal into subbands representing different physiological measures.
