title: Bi-spectral analysis of bioelectric phenomena: a survey.
abstract: This article presents five examples of bi-spectral analysis of bioelectric phenomena which show non-Gaussian statistics. Examples include: analysis of the electroencephalogram (EEG), electrical response of retinal horizontal cells to light stimuli, the evoked potential (EVP), the electromyogram (EMG) and spontaneous synaptic potentials (SSP). Readers may find the higher-order spectral analysis useful in extracting information underlying various kinds of bioelectric phenomena.
