Fixed tests did not confirm shared sound responses below baseline in six SEEG patients and 16 fMRI adults

We tested whether negative auditory response estimates mark stable decreases in separate public human studies. Development used two SEEG patients and four fMRI adults. A local plan and code lock preceded tests in six patients and 16 other adults. A metadata-only execution fix is preserved. A reference from development people predicted each sound's rate of negative estimates in a reserved person. Broad sound-group means were removed. Mean transfer correlations were 0.0367 in SEEG and 0.4195 in fMRI. Their 95% person Student intervals were [-0.0618, 0.1352] and [0.3528, 0.4861]. The fixed shared transfer test failed, Holm p=0.40625. A second fixed test selected low responses with two estimates and tested the other estimate. Selected test means were +0.0477 and +0.2504 in training-RMS units. Their intervals were [-0.0279, 0.1232] and [0.1409, 0.3599]. The shared decrease test failed, Holm p=0.999899. Source-zero and averaged-estimate electrical controls had positive transfer means; they do not replace the fixed test. A separate MRI acquisition gave transfer 0.2986; possible person overlap is unresolved. An exact model gives rate transfer with identical positive true means and sound-dependent error size alone. All negative people, controls, code, source pins, terms, figures and repeat steps remain. Short electrical baselines, source selection, clinical coverage and unequal measurement precision limit scope. No positive cross-modal decrease or common neural cause was confirmed.
