The ON minus OFF alpha reactivity interval includes zero in 25 Parkinson EEG pairs under an additive visit model without carryover

We tested posterior alpha EEG reactivity in 25 people with Parkinson disease from OpenNeuro ds003490 version 1.1.0. Each person had medication ON and OFF visits. Reactivity was the closed-eye to open-eye power ratio from 8 to below 13 Hz, in dB. We gave the two visit sequences equal weight. The ON minus OFF estimate was -0.271 dB. The 95% interval was -1.293 to 0.550 dB from 40,000 person bootstrap samples. A medication interpretation requires an additive visit effect and no carryover. All six fixed checks also gave intervals that include zero. This does not prove that medication has no effect. Source label tables disagree for one of the 25 people. A source spreadsheet supports the primary table but does not establish the true visit order. We report both label rules and a check that omits that person. The package preserves spectra, source headers and metadata, code, all scores, bootstrap samples, exact source retrieval recipes, and validation records. A full-file source check and an independent reader check passed. A fresh analysis reproduced all 12 numerical result files byte for byte. The evidence applies to the tested sample, signal method, and recorded medication labels.
