Abstract
A 56-contact matrix nerve cuff electrode (seven rings with eight contacts each) was used to obtain recordings from the rat sciatic nerve, which were then discriminated as originating from one of three fascicles (tibial, peroneal, and sural branches). The influence of the number and location of the recording contacts on the classification accuracy was studied. The performance of a classifier was shown to be superior when data was available from all 56 contacts, compared to when only the eight contacts of the middle ring were used (as in previously proposed multicontact tripolar cuff designs). By examining the performance variations as contacts were included one at a time (in order of decreasing positive impact on performance), it was further shown that the matrix configuration could outperform the single-ring configuration with only a small number of contacts. We can therefore conclude that the performance improvement is not due to the sheer number of contacts, but rather to the possibility of selecting the most informative locations around the nerve. The results could have important implications for the design and use of multicontact nerve cuff electrodes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
