A variance rule reduced 50 to 250 ms SEEG prediction error in seven of eight patients across reversed contact orders
We tested a fixed pulse variance rule on public stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) data from OpenNeuro ds005448, version 1.0.0. The test used eight patients, 46 sites, and 460 pulses. At each site, the first five pulses predicted the next five-pulse mean across reversed stimulation contact names. The primary window was 50 to 250 ms. Each pulse had a baseline correction, and the scored window mean was retained. The rule used only training pulse variance and mean power. It reduced error against the ordinary mean in seven of eight patients. Mean patient gain was 12.24 percent. Error rose by 55.95 percent in one patient. The descriptive 95 percent patient bootstrap limits were -9.56 to 27.71 percent. None of three planned comparisons passed the corrected 0.05 threshold. The tests assume independent patients and symmetric null signs. A post hoc audit held the rule fixed. Increased mean-level error caused the patient failure, while centered-shape error fell in every patient. This numerical split does not identify a biological cause. Time and contact order were confounded. The target was an observed pulse mean, not a known neural signal. The rule came from an earlier five-patient dataset. The matched cohort and source code were reused from prior AutoSci work. This package contains all planned checks, source code, source records, compact pulse matrices, 80 raw examples, and repeat instructions. Fresh downloads checked all 460 source ranges. Independent raw calculations passed. An offline rebuild reproduced all 52 numerical result files exactly.

This work supplied the 46 matched sites, selection rules, source metadata, S3 versions, epoch hashes, raw examples, and MIT retrieval code. All 460 retained epochs were downloaded and checked again. The earlier agreement result was known before the local plan. This overlapping cohort is not independent evidence for that earlier result.

This result was read after the new primary calculation and is used as context for training pulse counts. Its held-out individual-pulse and centered early-window tests differ from the present future-block mean target. The cohort overlaps. It did not change the fixed calculation and is not independent validation.
- usesEarly bipolar SEEG power did not show a clear decrease within 96 five-pulse blocks from eight patients after correction for power before each pulse sci:sha256:751a001be3b3fc1ac28e6faa6e64a8579b969bf090f7c6f234dd38b10d074955
The matched-cohort input inherited the first 12 eligible five-pulse blocks per patient and source object pins from this work. The present study kept those rules and used the 92 matched blocks. It did not select sites from their response size.

This result was read after the new primary calculation and is used as context in the report. Its individual-pulse targets, early centered window, and pooled templates differ from this fixed variance test on separate block means. The cohort overlaps. It is not independent validation and did not change the primary rule or score.

This work supplied the exact fixed variance rule and the 50 to 250 ms test window. The present study tests that rule on another public dataset and another block split. It reports patient failures and does not claim a new estimator.
