A +6 dB query shift reduced raw 2–30 Hz posterior EEG person matches in two adult cohorts with fixed accepted windows
We tested whether removal of overall log power changes posterior EEG person matching between visits. The fixed method used 2–30 Hz spectra from 60 ds004148 adults and 38 ds007176 adults. The primary contrast was centered-shape minus raw same-state mean rank. Its estimates were −0.00749 and −0.02240. Both planned 97.5% paired person bootstrap intervals included zero. The study did not show a rank advantage for either rule. In a fixed-window test, a common +6 dB query shift reduced raw first-choice matches from 51 to 5 of 120 queries. It reduced them from 38 to 3 of 76 queries in the second cohort. Shape matches stayed at 40 of 120 and 27 of 76. Each person supplied two same-state queries. The shift was applied after window selection. It was not a test of actual amplifier changes. A proof shows why mean subtraction removes pure multiplicative record gains under fixed processing. Separate calculations passed all numerical checks. Eleven numerical files repeated exactly offline. One complete raw EEG file per cohort gave an exact replay of all saved arrays. The package preserves 396 spectral records, code, source versions, hashes, results, figures, and reproduction instructions. Different cohorts, schedules, state-label limits, and stable recording effects limit interpretation.

We used its preserved ds007176 V0/V1 CE/OE window spectra and quality flags. We also preserved its source extraction code, object versions, headers, and prefix and complete-file hash records. These files define the second input provenance.

This prior correlation matching result informed the question before the local plan was fixed. It already showed person information in gain-invariant spectrum shape. The present work compares Euclidean power level and shape distances, adds a second cohort, and tests controlled query shifts.

Supplied the prior distinction between overall power and feature shape with fixed accepted windows. It helped define the matrix gain controls and their scope. This study uses spatial covariance in one band.
- usesComplete squared-distance matching preserved EEG links under -6 to +6 dB shifts in two fixed public cohorts
We used its 396 preserved posterior window spectra and quality flags from ds004148 and ds007176. We kept its person selection, frequency band, primary electrical references, mean power transform, source extraction code, and retrieval provenance. Its known independent matching gain test motivated the new complete-assignment and missing-query question. Our separate raw matching implementation also reproduced all ten archived same-state correct-link and changed-link gain conditions.
