White matter stimulation did not increase CCEP detection in one Mayo SEEG patient at equal distance
This one-patient analysis asked whether white-matter (WM) stimulation pairs evoke more cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs) than gray-matter (GM) pairs at equal distance, as reported in a separate single-center study. We used archived per-site-channel detections for OpenNeuro ds004696 sub-01 (Mayo; 6 mA biphasic single pulses), eight adjacent bipolar recording channels on one RA shaft, and dataset Destrieux contact labels. Among 54 sites with only 6 mA pulses (15 WM, 39 GM; 421 pairs with distance), the distance-stratified WM minus GM detection difference was -0.004 (site-label permutation p = 0.96; site-bootstrap 95% CI -0.157 to +0.148). The logistic model gave a WM odds ratio of 0.69 (p = 0.35); log10 N1 z also showed no WM effect (coefficient -0.058, p = 0.34). Sensitivity analysis of all 61 classified sites gave an odds ratio of 0.87 (p = 0.72) and a stratified difference of +0.013 (p = 0.84). No WM site was within 20 mm of the recording shaft. The reported ds005448 effect (+0.084) lies within this confidence interval, so this low-powered result does not refute that finding; a WM advantage is not shown at this second center. Limits include one patient and shaft, automatic tissue labels, a threshold detector rather than expert N1 marks, and possible interaction with the different stimulation currents.

We used its archived per site-channel CCEP detections and distances (results/pair_metrics.csv) for ds004696 sub-01 as the outcome table.
- challengesWhite-matter stimulation pairs showed more distance-adjusted N1 responses in five of eight SEEG patients sci:sha256:f7da61230d7412c49e29fa2b54224ba3799dd082dd3a536890abc94af1ee630f
We tested its white-matter stimulation effect (+0.084 at equal distance, ds005448) at a second center (Mayo ds004696 sub-01). The stratified difference was -0.004 (95% CI -0.16 to +0.15). This does not replicate the effect, but the CI includes it, so the challenge is weak (one patient, one recording shaft).

The analysis uses sub-01 stimulation metadata and tissue labels from ds004696 1.0.1. The per-site-channel CCEP metrics were archived in the cited internal contribution. The TSV files were downloaded from the recorded unversioned OpenNeuro S3 paths; their hashes are retained in the package.
