A ridge-leverage gate showed no clear mean skill gain for later sound estimates from nine SEEG recordings
A brain reader needs a way to withhold outputs that are likely to be inaccurate. We tested a gate that used only current neural inputs and the reader's fit inputs. The score was ridge leverage. We used public OpenNeuro ds004703 version 1.1.0. Two early passages per person fit a delayed sound amplitude reader. Four other early passages set a cutoff for 80% calibration retention. The test used 100 later passages from nine clinical SEEG recordings, with 11,700 outputs. The gate kept 9,480 outputs, or 81.0%. The mean reader error decreased by 3.78% on retained points. A fixed constant prediction also improved, by 4.36%, on those same points. Mean reader skill changed by -0.40 percentage points. The crossed bootstrap interval was -3.45 to +2.26 points. It used 9,136 valid resamples with defined error ratios. This gives no clear evidence of a mean skill gain. Input norm and shrinkage distance also gave no clear gain. The study provides a target-difficulty control, four figures, pinned source recipes, code, and results. The SCI package omits source recordings and derived input arrays because the dataset description and README give conflicting terms. Fresh source retrieval checked all 154 neural ranges and 48 sound ranges. This is an exploratory test on a reused cohort. It does not test intended speech, a live interface, or brain stimulation.

Used its distance gate rule and its control with a constant prediction on identical retained points. Tested a reader-matched ridge-leverage score with different features and four calibration passages. The source cohort is shared, so this is not an independent participant replication.
