Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This work proposes a machine-learning based system for a scalp EEG that flags an alarm in advance of a clinical seizure onset. METHODS: EEG recordings from 12 patients with drug resistant epilepsy were marked by an expert neurologist for clinical seizure onset. Scalp EEG recordings consisted of 56 seizures and 9.67 h of interictal periods. Data from six patients were reserved for testing, and the rest was split into training and testing sets. A global spatial average of a cross-frequency coupling (CFC) index, , was extracted in 2 s windows, and used as the feature for the machine learning. A multistage state classifier (MSC) based on random forest algorithms was trained and tested on these data. Training was conducted to classify three states: interictal baseline, and segments prior to and following EG onset. Classifier performance was assessed using a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. RESULTS: The MSC produced an alarm 45 16 s in advance of a clinical seizure onset across seizures from the 12 patients. It performed with a sensitivity of 87.9%, a specificity of 82.4%, and an area-under-the-ROC of 93.4%. On patients for whom it received training, performance metrics increased. Performance metrics did not change when the MSC used reduced electrode ring configurations. CONCLUSION: Using the scalp , the MSC produced an alarm in advance of a clinical seizure onset for all 12 patients. Patient-specific training improved the specificity of classification. SIGNIFICANCE: The MSC is noninvasive, and demonstrates that CFC features may be suitable for use in a home-based seizure monitoring system.

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
