A two-pattern sound forecast did not pass a shared 1% gain test in 17 iEEG patients and 16 fMRI adults
We tested whether two spatial patterns predict new sound examples better than one. Separate public human studies supplied signed intracranial EEG and BOLD fMRI. Four people per study supplied development. A local code lock preceded the new test in 17 other patients and 16 other adults. Five sound classes had disjoint training and test clips. Mean error reductions were 1.115% in iEEG and 8.801% in fMRI, relative to grand-center baseline error. Person 95% intervals were -0.266% to 2.495% and 7.102% to 10.500%. Ranges from common-sound and person resampling were -2.747% to 1.812% and 4.656% to 10.574%. The fixed shared 1% gain rule failed. All negative outcomes remain. A separate exact model has one scalar input and six strictly increasing site functions. It gives a 16.694% two-pattern gain after the same scaling and spatial mean removal. Thus, extra useful linear patterns do not count independent stimulus inputs. This model is not fitted to people. Unequal clinical coverage, different clips, source selection and measurement filters limit scope. The contribution is a reproducible prediction benchmark, a scope diagnostic and a failed cross-modal test. It does not establish shared neural rank or causality. The package gives code, permitted inputs, exact source records, all outcomes, figures and repeat steps.

Earlier SCI work tested prediction beyond a rank-one sound filter in different studies. Our test uses spatial class means and disjoint sound examples.
