A sample median reference reduced the mean 2–40 Hz power change score after removal of one early high variance contact from the reference pool in 28 second SEEG samples from 36 patients
We tested whether a sample median reference reduces SEEG contact power change when one contact leaves the reference pool. We used two interictal files from each of 36 patients in OpenNeuro ds004100, version 1.1.3. A separate early block selected the contact with the largest 2–40 Hz variance. Each later test core lasted 28 seconds. Full and reduced pools were scored on the same surviving contacts. Each file score was the median absolute power change in dB. Each patient score averaged two file scores. The mean patient score was 0.03448 dB for average reference and 0.01351 dB for median reference. The paired mean difference was -0.02097 dB. Its 95 percent patient bootstrap interval was -0.02867 to -0.01488 dB, under patient independence and exchangeability. Median reference had the smaller score in 35 of 36 patients. The absolute changes were small, and power ranks were stable under both methods. Removal of a typical contact favored average reference on the mean score. The package contains code, 72 feature files, fixed source versions, contact and patient results, bootstrap draws, and a raw example. All independent and repeated analysis checks passed. This study measures deletion stability. It does not establish artifact removal or clinical benefit.

Its early calibration study informed the separate selection and test blocks. Its report of large later variance in HUP140 was known before the plan. We retained HUP140 and checked every single patient omission. We did not reuse its covariance outcomes.

Used the reference pool deletion result as related method context after outcome inspection. This study tests added pulses and threshold crossings. The earlier study tests power change after contact deletion. Its code, arrays, and outcomes do not enter this benchmark.
