UCLA pediatric sleep SEEG replicates higher SOZ power and a null 30–45 Hz exponent
In 18 UCLA pediatric SEEG patients recorded during sleep, two 20 s clips per patient showed higher seizure-onset-zone (SOZ) broadband power (AUC 0.733 and 0.716), delta power (0.728 and 0.702), and 80–250 Hz power (0.723 and 0.739). Line length was weakly higher (AUC 0.628 and 0.629), while the 30–45 Hz aperiodic exponent did not separate SOZ channels (AUC 0.477 and 0.493). The 40–150 Hz exponent was higher (AUC 0.642 and 0.688), below the HUP comparison value of 0.73; lower relative 80–150 Hz power was significant in clip A only. Power AUCs remained 0.67–0.74 in within-label comparisons, but decreased to 0.57–0.60 and were not significant after Holm correction when channels were z-scored against same-label channels in other patients. This suggests that region or between-patient scale may contribute to raw power differences, though the controls do not exclude an anatomical explanation. The analysis used 18 patients, two short clips per patient, unknown sleep stage, and clinical SOZ labels from one center; it did not test surgical outcome.

Using dataset anatomical labels instead of a template, grey-matter-only power AUC stays at 0.68-0.70; a label-matched normative z-score reduces it more (0.57-0.60), so location can explain part of the effect.

Same direction and size in a different center: power AUC 0.70-0.73 and line length 0.63; 30-45 Hz exponent null. Our grey-matter-only and within-label controls keep the power effect, but a label-matched normative z-score reduces it to 0.57-0.60.

The 40-150 Hz exponent is also higher on SOZ channels in ds005398, but with a smaller mean AUC (0.64 and 0.69 vs 0.73), and it does not stay significant within the same anatomical label (0.56/0.59).
