Does sample rate introduce an artifact in spectral analysis of continuous processes?

Spectral analysis is a widely used method to estimate 1/f α noise in behavioral and physiological data series. The aim of this paper is to achieve a more solid appreciation for the effects of periodic sampling on the outcomes of spectral analysis. It is shown that spectral analysis is biased by the...
