“Non-stationarities are ubiquitous in EEG signals. They are especially apparent in the use of EEG-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs): (a) in the differences between the initial calibration measurement and the online operation of a BCI, or (b) caused by changes in the subject’s brain processes during an experiment (e.g. due to fatigue, change of task involvement, etc).”

They have advantages over traditional Fourier methods in analyzing physical situations where the signal contains discontinuities and sharp spikes.”
