Cross-frequency phase coupling (PPC) may play an important role in neural processing and cognition. However, a new study unveils a statistical bias in how PPC is detected in neural recordings, questions prior evidence for PPC in hippocampus, and shows PPC tests are dramatically flawed by their confounds with oscillation harmonics.
