With fixed models, past reports reduced pain report error in 115 EEG adults and 20 fMRI adults; a shared neural gain was not confirmed

We tested whether current neural features improve later pain report estimates after known input and recent reports are used. Separate public studies supplied EEG features and fMRI trial response maps. Development used 39 EEG adults and eight fMRI adults. A local code and data lock preceded tests in 115 other EEG adults and 20 other fMRI adults. Each target used earlier personal calibration and sequential past reports. Recent reports reduced mean squared error by 3.38% and 18.20%. Their 95% person bootstrap ranges were [1.38,5.24]% and [14.40,21.27]%. The fixed shared test passed, Holm p=0.00320. Adding current neural features gave mean gains of 2.79% and -4.80%, with ranges [-1.20,6.44]% and [-13.28,0.86]%. That shared test failed, p=0.93783. A shared gain below the fixed 5% boundary was also not confirmed. At a later visit, 114 of the same EEG people had a 4.26% mean neural gain, but only 56 improved. All negative people, fixed controls and discordant checks remain. A line fit to early neural features removed the EEG mean gain. Stronger neural shrinkage gave a small positive MRI point estimate. These checks do not replace the failed primary test. Source feature joins, MRI coordinates and source hashes passed audits. Independent weighted SVD reproduced every primary prediction within 5e-16. The package gives permitted compact inputs, code, provenance, local plans, results, figures and repeat steps. Full-record source processing, missing EEG trials, incomplete MRI body-site and physiology labels, nonrandom ID splits and different cohorts limit neural claims. This is a reusable prediction benchmark and a failed positive neural generalization test, not a causal result.
