Bibliographic record
Abstract
Simultaneous collection of scalp EEG and fMRI has become an important tool for studying the hemodynamic changes associated with interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in persons with epilepsy, and has become a standard presurgical assessment tool in some centres. We previously demonstrated that performing EEG-fMRI using intracranial electrodes (iEEG-fMRI) is of low risk to patients in our research centre, and offers unique insight into BOLD signal changes associated with IEDs recorded from very discrete sources. However, it is unknown whether the BOLD response corresponding to IEDs recorded by iEEG-fMRI follows the canonical hemodynamic response. We therefore scanned 11 presurgical epilepsy patients using iEEG-fMRI, and assessed the hemodynamic response associated with individual IEDs using two methods: assessment of BOLD signal changes associated with isolated IEDs at the location of the active intracranial electrode, and by estimating subject-specific impulse response functions to isolated IEDs. We found that the hemodynamic response associated with the intracranially recorded discharges varied by patient and by spike location. The observed shape and timing differences also deviated from the canonical hemodynamic response function traditionally used in many fMRI experiments. It is recommended that future iEEG-fMRI studies of IEDs use a flexible hemodynamic response model when performing parametric tests to accurately characterize these data.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
