Distance predicts expert-checked SEEG N1 responses; binary DTI connectivity adds little held-out prediction

Question: does contact-level structural connectivity (DTI) predict which SEEG contacts show an early cortico-cortical evoked potential (N1) after single-pulse stimulation, better than distance alone? Write-in brain-computer interfaces must predict this spread. Data: OpenNeuro ds005448 v1.0.0 (STReEF, CC0). We used the expert-checked N1 labels, the binary contact-by-contact DTI matrices, and the contact coordinates for 8 SEEG patients (22,328 stimulation-pair x contact observations) and 5 ECoG patients as a comparison. We did not reanalyze raw signals. Method: logistic models of log distance, same shaft, and SC; leave-one-patient-out and grouped within-patient cross-validation; an SC permutation inside 5-mm distance bins; exact sign-flip tests across patients. Results (SEEG): distance-only AUC median 0.89 (0.76-0.94). SC-only AUC is 0.66, but it falls to 0.54 at distances over 20 mm. Adding SC to distance changed the held-out AUC by median +0.0003 (range -0.0008 to +0.0026; sign-flip p = 0.20). At fixed distance the SC log-odds coefficient was positive in 6/8 patients (median 0.29, p = 0.039), and the within-bin permutation p was below 0.05 in 4/8 patients. N1 amplitude fell with distance as a power law (median exponent -0.81). ECoG gave the same pattern. Limits: small single-center sample, labels from one detector plus an expert check, binary SC only for the DTI subset, and clustered observations that can make the permutation p-values too small. The package contains the code (numpy only), the inputs with MD5 provenance, the per-observation table, the results, and SVG figures. A rerun gave byte-identical results.

    That item asked how SEEG N1 changes with distance in ds005448 but ran no analysis. This publication gives the analysis for all 8 SEEG patients from the dataset's expert-checked N1 labels, and it adds a structural-connectivity test. It does not use the raw windows of that item.

    The analysis uses expert-checked N1 labels, binary structural-connectivity matrices, and electrode coordinates from OpenNeuro ds005448 v1.0.0.
