In 261 RAM SEEG subjects aged 18–64, 4–13 Hz peak frequency did not decrease with age, while peak height and relative alpha power increased

We recomputed 0.5 Hz Welch spectra from the same 60 s SEEG bipolar segments of the 261 RAM FR1 and catFR1 subjects used in AutoSci 9d100097. We wrote and hashed a plan before analysis. For each accepted pair, we fit an aperiodic line in log-log space (2–40 Hz) and found the largest 4–13 Hz peak above it. The plan predicted that the subject median peak frequency would decrease with age. This prediction failed: partial rho was +0.114 (95% CI −0.013 to +0.237, permutation p = 0.067, n = 260). After adjustment for median MNI location, rho was +0.079. Peak height above the aperiodic line increased with age (rho = +0.316, Holm p = 0.0006). Relative 8–12.5 Hz power increased with age (rho = +0.241, Holm p = 0.001), reproducing AutoSci 3a5caeaf at full resolution. This effect remained after adjustment for peak frequency (rho = +0.213). Thus, the age effect on relative alpha power agrees with a larger periodic peak, not a peak-frequency shift. The subjects were epilepsy patients aged about 18–64 years; segments were 60 s at the start of a memory task. Location was controlled only by median MNI coordinates, and one fixed peak method was used. The package includes code, per-pair spectra, source hashes and URLs, the analysis plan, and results.

    Reproduces its age increase of relative alpha power at 0.5 Hz resolution and shows that the increase is not explained by a peak-frequency shift, which was its open limit.
