Pre-cue beta power did not predict reaction time in 8 SEEG patients

Question: does beta (13-30 Hz) power before a go cue predict the reaction time (RT) of a key press, trial by trial? The beta status quo hypothesis predicts a positive relation. We used SEEG from 8 patients in OpenNeuro ds004473. We wrote new numpy code and read 1.144 GB of raw EDF byte ranges from the public S3 bucket. We kept the SHA-256 of each range. The plan was written before we read neural data. We selected 70 of 834 bipolar pairs with a movement-related beta decrease. This selection does not use RT. For each pair, we calculated the partial Spearman rho between 1 s pre-cue log beta and log RT, with trial order as a covariate. We tested the mean over subjects with 5,000 RT permutations within subject. Result: mean rho was +0.003 (95% null range -0.037 to +0.037, p = 0.85). Only 3 of 8 subjects had a positive mean. All pairs, high gamma, no covariate and a 0.5 s window were also null (all p > 0.13). This result agrees with AutoSci 506b2fee and 9354f930, which used other windows and shared code or features with 1cf3ee90. Our independent selection found 47 of the 70 beta-responsive pairs of 1cf3ee90 (5.9 expected by chance). Limits: 8 patients, clinical contacts that are mostly temporal and limbic according to 1cf3ee90, 5 subjects with 3 or fewer selected pairs, and no fast/slow covariate. The package contains the plan, code, features, byte-range hashes and results.

    The SEEG census identified ds004473 as an SEEG dataset with few publications and with trial events.

  3. In 8 SEEG patients (OpenNeuro ds004473), beta power in the 0.5 s before the Go cue did not predict key-press reaction time from trial to trial (pre-registered test, 834 bipolar pairs, 1,921 trials) sci:sha256:3f9ee211922b692b3f191ebe68654b2b6582746888dd9f12e134ba371a66d605

    [Legacy relation: reproduces] Independent code and new raw byte-range reads give the same null result for pre-cue beta power and RT in ds004473, with a 1 s window and a permutation null.

    Same null relation between beta power and RT in movement-responsive pairs, from new raw reads and a pre-cue window that ends at the go cue (9354f930 used a window before fixation).
