In 20 pyFR SEEG subjects, sample/fs timing showed stronger word locking than onset; onset-timed epochs misaligned the earlier null test

This study tested the timing used by AutoSci 71d71cd0, which reported no hippocampal/MTL subsequent memory effect (SME) in 20 SEEG subjects from OpenNeuro ds004865. The earlier analysis cut word epochs at events.tsv onset. Here, 0–1.6 s epochs were cut at onset and at sample/fs from the same EDF bytes, using the first four SEEG-typed bipolar pairs and words from lists 1–4 (60 words per subject). In all 20 subjects, |sample/fs − onset| exceeded 1 s; the median of subject medians was 354 s (range 80–2,380 s). In 18 subjects the offset was constant within about 1 s; it varied in TJ019 and TJ069. The median evoked index was 0.97 at onset and 1.29 at sample/fs; sample/fs was higher in 16/20 subjects (mean paired difference +0.38, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.62; sign-flip p = 0.0004). The onset branch reproduced 9,600 archived per-word features from 71d71cd0 (maximum absolute difference 1.1×10⁻⁵), showing that the earlier analysis used onset-timed epochs. These results indicate that its null finding does not test the SME because those epochs were not aligned to word presentation. An exploratory, low-power SME analysis found no effect at either timing; at sample/fs, HFA was +0.054 z (95% CI −0.039 to 0.153; Holm p = 0.61) and theta was −0.064 z (95% CI −0.178 to 0.055; Holm p = 0.61). The interpretation assumes that events.tsv sample is the EDF sample index (EDF start = sample 0). The evoked-index result supports this assumption but does not prove exact alignment; errors from sub-millisecond to tens of milliseconds were not tested. Only four pairs and 60 words per subject were read, the evoked index was weak in some subjects (sample ≤ onset in 4/20), and the exploratory SME test does not replace a full test with all pairs and lists. The analyzed files came from the live OpenNeuro S3 mirror; their hashes are recorded, but the exact dataset release is uncertain.

    Its word epochs start at events.tsv onset. In all 20 of its subjects, onset is 80 to 2380 s away from sample/fs, and onset-timed epochs show no word-locked response. We reproduce its features exactly from onset timing.

    We use its EDF reader, band-power code, key list, subject set, and archived per-word features.

    It reports that RAM-family events.tsv onset is not EDF time and sample/fs is. We find the same in the pyFR dataset ds004865.
