In 15 SEEG patients, inter-channel coupling did not improve working-memory load decoding over band power
This work tests if inter-channel coupling features contain working-memory load information that per-channel band power does not contain. The data are SEEG from 15 patients in OpenNeuro ds004752 (verbal Sternberg task, session 1). The decoder classifies set size 8 vs 4 from the 3-6 s maintenance window. It uses bipolar channels, 5 bands (4-150 Hz), z-scoring and Ledoit-Wolf shrinkage LDA, with 5-fold x 10 cross-validation. Band power gives mean AUC 0.687 (15/15 patients above 0.5). Zero-lag Fisher-z correlation alone gives 0.606. Power plus correlation gives 0.630, which is 0.057 lower than power (95% CI -0.109 to -0.010, exact sign-flip p = 0.040, 11/15 patients lower). Log-Euclidean covariance (0.620) and amplitude-envelope correlation (0.557) are also lower than power. Correlation decodes above chance only in the 8-13 and 13-30 Hz bands. Limits: one task, one session, few trials, offline, zero-lag coupling only. For few-trial SEEG load decoders, use band power and not full coupling features. The package contains code, per-patient results, figures and raw-file hashes.

Independent band-pass power features give mean AUC 0.687, close to the reported sLDA band-power AUC of about 0.69; richer feature sets (coupling) also do not beat band power with sLDA.
- supportsIn 8 SEEG patients, ERP covariance decoders had lower AUC than voltage decoders, while high-gamma covariance added no gain sci:sha256:5208ef07eb798c742f4941e9c1e0dd02d9722e68686c06e8aeed80f6650f4c03
That work found covariance (Riemannian) features worse than sLDA on SEEG motor data; this work finds log-Euclidean covariance and correlation features worse than band power for SEEG working-memory load.

This work uses the same trial selection, maintenance window, band set and shrinkage-LDA pipeline as the archived feature package, and compares its power baseline with it.
