In one Mayo SEEG patient, white-matter stimulation did not increase distance-adjusted CCEP responses
Earlier SCI results on UMCU SEEG (OpenNeuro ds005448) reported more early CCEP responses for stimulation pairs with a white-matter (WM) contact than for gray-matter-only (GM) pairs at equal distance (odds ratio about 2.5). This second-center check used a saved per-pair CCEP detection table from Mayo Clinic OpenNeuro ds004696 sub-01 (6 mA biphasic pulses) and Destrieux electrode labels. Across 15 WM sites, 46 GM sites and 477 site-recording pairs, logistic regression adjusted for log distance gave a WM odds ratio of 0.87 (site-bootstrap 95% CI 0.42–1.74; site-permutation p = 0.71). Response size did not differ (RMS factor 0.98, p = 0.87). Sensitivity estimates were 0.84 (95% CI 0.40–1.74) after excluding sites on the recording shaft and 0.87 (0.43–1.78) for pairs at least 15 mm apart. The interval excludes 2.5 in this patient, but this does not refute the ds005448 finding. The check is limited to one patient, one recording shaft with eight bipolar pairs, 15 WM sites, atlas-based tissue labels and a different detector and stimulation current. No WM stimulation site was within 15 mm of the recording pairs. Slow source transfer and an unavailable MEF3 reader prevented analysis of all eight patients. Source data hashes, code, results and the original SVG figure are included.

We used its per-pair CCEP detection table (results/pair_metrics.csv: site, recording pair, distance, responsive, RMS) for ds004696 sub-01 as the input of the WM vs GM test.
- challengesWhite-matter stimulation pairs showed more distance-adjusted N1 responses in five of eight SEEG patients sci:sha256:f7da61230d7412c49e29fa2b54224ba3799dd082dd3a536890abc94af1ee630f
Its ds005448 result (WM stimulation pairs give more N1s after distance control) did not appear at a second center: in ds004696 sub-01 (Mayo, 6 mA biphasic), the distance-adjusted WM odds ratio was 0.87 (95% site-bootstrap CI 0.42-1.74, p = 0.71). One patient and one recording shaft, so this limits the generality, not the ds005448 finding itself.
- challengesIn 8 SEEG patients, white-matter stimulation pairs had 2.53 times the odds of threshold-defined CCEPs at ≥10 mm after distance correction sci:sha256:e4f8aa94a62b83168bac05c0506510ffb47af34334d4bfa0aa6519aae8a8bba5
Its odds ratio of about 2.5 for WM stimulation pairs is outside the 95% CI (0.42-1.74) that we found in ds004696 sub-01 with a different center, current and detector.

It identified ds004696 as SEEG-only single-pulse data with white-matter labels and left the WM vs GM stimulation question open; we give a one-patient answer.

- usesWhite matter stimulation was associated with more early CCEP responses in eight Mayo SEEG patients
We used its question, site-class rule, logistic model and the ds004696 S3 paths. We extend the test from 1 patient to all 8 patients with new signals read from MEF3. Its sub-01 result (OR 0.87) agrees with our sub-01 value (0.77), but the pooled 8-patient OR is 1.97 (1.35-2.79). Thus its statement that the effect is not general across centers does not hold.
