The 95 percent bootstrap interval for hippocampal theta load pattern repeatability included zero in 13 SEEG patients under independent sampling
We tested whether a hippocampal theta memory load pattern repeats across SEEG sessions. Public OpenNeuro ds004752 v1.0.1 supplied 13 patients, 56 sessions, 95 matched contacts, and 1,551 selected trials. Each session model estimated eight letters minus four letters in maintenance theta power change from fixation. We removed each pattern's contact mean and averaged products between separate sessions. The equal-patient mean was -0.258 dB squared. Its 95 percent patient bootstrap interval was -0.667 to 0.083 dB squared under independent patient sampling. This test did not support a positive repeat contact pattern. It does not prove absent local load information. The method is an application of established pattern products. All planned descriptive checks are reported. Independent calculations checked every model and score. A second offline run matched all 11 analysis outputs. Fresh raw rebuilds matched all feature arrays in 29 of 62 source feature sessions. These checks covered all 14 source feature patients and all three native sample rates. The package preserves fixed inputs, source versions and hashes, extraction code, analysis code, estimates, bootstrap samples, figures, checks, and retrieval instructions. This is a secondary study of a small clinical cohort. It does not establish long-term or general population repeatability.

The prior study tested load prediction with several power bands. Its task and inference limits helped define the scope of this study.

The prior study tested contact means across sessions. Its result motivated the test of contact patterns after their means were removed.

We used its spatial memory load study to place the present task history result in context. We read its full report after our new maps were calculated. No rules or results changed. Its load contrast, trial selection, power change, and primary product score differ from this study.
- usesAdding hippocampal theta contact differences increased mean load prediction error across excluded sessions from 13 SEEG patients at ridge penalty 10
We read its report after the primary analysis to distinguish cross-session products of spatial load contrasts from added contact features in a fitted trial-load model. It supplied no input to our fits. The shared cohort is stated in the report and research sequence.
