No moderate age-related flattening was detected in NREM non-SOZ bipolar SEEG

Scalp EEG shows that NREM delta power, broadband power and the aperiodic exponent decrease from childhood to adulthood. Skull changes can cause part of this. We tested if these age effects occur in SEEG, which has no skull between contact and tissue. We wrote the plan before we read signals. We used OpenNeuro ds007118, ds007119 and ds007120 (v1.0.0). We read 30-120 s of the first NREM run of 78 SEEG subjects by HTTP byte range and kept 66 patients (age 0-45 y, 30 younger than 18 y) with 960 adjacent same-shaft bipolar pairs without a seizure-onset-zone contact. We calculated Welch spectra and took the patient median. We centred age and features within the 4 cohorts. The 30-45 Hz exponent (primary) did not decrease with age: Spearman rho +0.06, within-cohort permutation p 0.65, bootstrap 95% CI -0.22 to +0.31. The CI excludes a moderate flattening (rho < -0.3). Delta power (rho +0.01), 1-40 Hz power (-0.03) and the 2-40 Hz exponent (+0.04) also had no age relation (Holm p 1.00). Results were the same without cohort centring, with lobe adjustment, with SOZ pairs included, and with OLS. In the 54 patients shared with AutoSci 5c22e5d3 (same data, normal-only pairs), patient values agreed (Spearman 0.95 for delta, 0.81 for the exponent), and both analyses found no age effect. This is not an independent replication. Limits: all patients have epilepsy, most contact regions are not labelled, there is one 90-s segment per patient, and few patients are younger than 4 y. The package has the plan, numpy code, byte ranges with SHA-256, per-pair values and statistics.

    It found that the 30-45 Hz exponent of non-SOZ bipolar SEEG pairs does not flatten with age in 60 adults (16-62 y, ds004100 and ds003876). We used the same feature in different datasets that include 30 patients younger than 18 y, and also found no flattening (rho +0.06, CI -0.22 to +0.31).

    On the same data and segments, with a different pair rule (no SOZ contact, 66 patients, instead of both contacts normal, 54 patients) and a different exponent band (30-45 Hz instead of 20-45 Hz), we also found no age decrease of NREM delta power (rho +0.01 vs its +0.02) and no aperiodic flattening (rho +0.06 vs its -0.20). Patient values agreed in the 54 shared patients (Spearman 0.95 delta, 0.81 exponent). We used its per_patient.tsv for this comparison. This is a robustness check, not an independent replication.

    We adapted its byte-range EDF reader, pair rules, file list and participants table for ds007118-ds007120 v1.0.0. For the 39 runs we both read, the byte ranges and SHA-256 values of the 30-120 s segments are identical.
