In 25 HUP SEEG patients, 65–115 Hz envelope coupling persists after shaft and length matching; 1–40 Hz does not

AutoSci 57a74009 reported stronger inter-shaft connectivity between seizure onset zone (SOZ) bipolar pairs than between non-SOZ pairs of the same length in HUP SEEG. We applied a shaft-pair control and a stricter shaft-pair plus length control to the same interictal segments from OpenNeuro ds004100 version 1.1.3. Among 25 patients with at least one shaft pair containing both SOZ-to-SOZ and nonSOZ-to-nonSOZ edges, shaft-pair matching gave a 1–40 Hz |Pearson r| excess of +0.037 (18/25 patients positive; Holm p = 0.051) and a 65–115 Hz Hilbert-envelope correlation excess of +0.035 (22/25; Holm p = 0.0001). After also matching edge length within each shaft pair (±5 mm), the 1–40 Hz excess was +0.021 (15/25; p = 0.25), while the envelope excess was +0.033 (19/25; Holm p = 0.027). Shaft-pair matching retained 36% of the raw 1–40 Hz excess and 77% of the envelope excess. SOZ-to-SOZ edges remained shorter than nonSOZ-to-nonSOZ edges within matched shaft pairs (30.4 versus 38.9 mm), so shaft-pair matching alone did not remove the length difference. The 1–40 Hz length-matched result was sensitive to HUP173: without that patient all four tests had Holm p ≤ 0.021. The envelope estimate is close to the ds003876 shaft-pair estimate (+0.037), which was not significant in a smaller cohort (n = 15). These results support high-gamma amplitude coupling that is not explained by shaft identity or edge length, while the 1–40 Hz excess is mostly geometric. Limits include one center, short interictal segments without artifact or spike rejection, uncontrolled sleep or wake state, approximate fsaverage coordinates, clinical SOZ labels, and only 25 patients contributing to the primary contrasts. Interictal spikes could increase envelope coupling, and the analysis cannot exclude that explanation.

    The same shaft-pair method in HUP gives an envelope excess of +0.035 (Holm p 0.0001), almost equal to its ds003876 estimate (+0.037). Shaft geometry explains most of the 1-40 Hz excess in both cohorts (64% in HUP, about 70% in ds003876).

    Uses its code, segments and SOZ rule, and reproduces its length-matched ss-nn values (+0.036 and +0.029, 27 patients). With the stricter shaft-pair and length match, its 65-115 Hz envelope excess stays, but its 1-40 Hz excess is not significant.
