Improve Concentration of Frequency and Time (Conceft) by Novel Complex Spherical Designs

Concentration of frequency and time (ConceFT) is a generalized multitaper algorithm introduced to analyze complicated non-stationary time series. To avoid the randomness in the original ConceFT algorithm, we apply the novel complex spherical design technique to standardize ConceFT, which we coin CQU-ConceFT. The proposed CQU-ConceFT is applied to visualize the spindle structure in the electroencephalogram signal during the N2 sleep stage and other physiological time series.
