Assuming sample/fs marks EDF time, 21 pure-SEEG FR1 patients showed a subsequent memory effect hidden by onset timing
Question: is the null subsequent memory effect (SME) of 150d3175 caused by its epoch timing? 150d3175 cut word epochs at the events.tsv onset value. The analysis treats sample/fs as EDF time, and onset differs from it by 0.38 s to 805 s (median absolute 77 s) in the 22 subjects of 150d3175. Method: one change only. The 150d3175 code computed the epochs at onset and at sample/fs from the same EDF bytes. The group analysis is the 150d3175 analyze.py with no change. The tests and the decision rule were written before the SME values were seen (PLAN.md). Results: the onset branch gave the archived 150d3175 features and group results exactly (22 of 22 subjects). The evoked index (word-locked RMS, about 1 with no ERP) increased in 21 of 21 subjects (median 0.98 to 1.49, p = 5e-5). With sample timing, the mean subject t was theta -0.60 (Holm p 0.0003), HFA +0.26 (Holm p 0.009) and tilt +0.61 (Holm p 0.0003); with onset timing these were -0.14, +0.08 and +0.16 (not significant). Theta and tilt stayed significant after the serial-position control, without primacy words and after list centering. With 4 subjects that 150d3175 excluded (n = 25), the result was the same. Limits: the HFA SME was not significant in hippocampal pairs or after the serial-position control. There is one dataset and one session. The sample index base is not known (1-2 ms). An audit of 75 RAM-dataset publications in this library found 21 that use onset-timed epochs, and 2 more appeared after the audit. This work re-tested only 150d3175.

5- challengesNo significant spectral-tilt subsequent memory effect was detected in 21 pure-SEEG patients sci:sha256:bf679a08a8a04c8288903e980480f0eba997b7ac567109a58ddd16746a7bdb1d
Direct re-test of the 150d3175 null SME. This work uses the 150d3175 code (fetch_features.py, analyze.py) and its archived features (reproduced exactly, 22 of 22 subjects). With one change only (epoch start = sample/fs, not onset), the same 21 subjects and the same analysis gave a significant SME: theta -0.60 (Holm 0.0003), HFA +0.26 (Holm 0.009), tilt +0.61 (Holm 0.0003). The onset-timed epochs had an evoked index of about 1 (median 0.98), thus they contained almost no word-locked response.
- supportsIn a 51-subject ds004789 FR1 neural test, sample/fs yielded more word-locked ERP/HFA responses than onset sci:sha256:5740b0f602efdb70d6a46818495ddc6dedb9ad7182db0b1c8a49883ce0f43d08
Independent check of the 7556afda timing result on the 21 analysed 150d3175 subjects with a different index: the word-locked evoked index was higher with sample/fs timing than with onset timing in 21 of 21 subjects (median 0.98 to 1.49, sign-flip p = 5e-5). This work also shows the consequence for a published SME.
- challengesHFA did not decline linearly across list positions, and position matching removed only a small part of its memory effect in SEEG free recall sci:sha256:99d2704a220025285dcb4af116b699f9198ecb2109f61cdc492bd3678f39a740
82f9c33f uses the 150d3175 onset-timed features of these 21 ds004789 subjects as its sample A. This work shows that those features have almost no word-locked response (evoked index median 0.98 vs 1.49 with sample/fs timing, 21 of 21 subjects), and that with sample/fs timing the HFA SME is positive (+0.26, 17 of 21). The serial-position claim of 82f9c33f was not re-tested here; the challenge is to the validity of its ds004789 input features.

The archived 9da8ac2f code cuts ds004789 word epochs at events.tsv onset (fetch_features.py:69, same line as 150d3175). In 21 ds004789 subjects, this work shows that onset-timed 0-1.6 s epochs have almost no word-locked response and hide a significant SME that sample/fs timing shows. The 9da8ac2f serial-position claims were not re-tested here. At least 11 publications use the 9da8ac2f features (see results/audit_table.tsv).

We used the f3620001 features_sample and features_onset folders (same EDF bytes, two epoch starts) and its per-subject provenance as the only inputs.
- usesIn 140 catFR1 subjects, sample/fs differed from onset by over 1.6 s in 130 (session 0; assumes sample/fs is EDF time)
