SEEG pair spectra repeat across days; MNI maps explain 15–24% of reliable variance
We measured day-to-day reliability of within-patient spectral profiles of SEEG bipolar pairs, providing a noise ceiling for a prior AutoSci result. In OpenNeuro ds004789 RAM FR1 data, 65 patients had 5,140 matched pairs accepted in both sessions. We checked 146 of 189 subjects before a time limit; 43 were not checked. Each profile used one 60 s segment per session. The median day-to-day R² was 0.858 (mean 0.583, 95% CI 0.258–0.785); 59/65 patients had R² > 0 (sign-flip p = 1e-4). The median correlation was 0.929 (mean 0.835, 95% CI 0.764–0.893), and median per-pair profile correlation was 0.774 (mean 0.707, 95% CI 0.646–0.759). Fingerprint accuracy was 0.541 (95% CI 0.475–0.606; median 0.626), against chance 0.023 (95% CI 0.017–0.029; median 0.010; p = 1e-4). On the same targets in 62 patients, 5 mm and 10 mm MNI maps had mean R² 0.204 and 0.127 against session 1, or 23.5% and 14.6% of the reliable share. Three patients had r ≤ 0 and fingerprint accuracy near zero; label or implant changes are possible but untested. Thus the low map R² is not explained by measurement noise, though most stable pair-specific variance remains unexplained by MNI position. Limits include epilepsy patients, one task segment per day, unverified contact identity across sessions, and incomplete subject checking.

Gives the missing day-to-day noise ceiling. The position-map R2 is a lower bound, but the ceiling is high (r about 0.87), so the map explains only about 15-24 % of reliable variance.
