Abstract
Abstract Objective. To perform automatic sleep scoring based only on intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG), without the need for scalp EEG), electrooculography (EOG) and electromyography (EMG), in order to study sleep, epilepsy, and their interaction. Approach . Data from 33 adult patients was used for development and training of the automatic scoring algorithm using both oscillatory and non-oscillatory spectral features. The first step consisted in unsupervised clustering of channels based on feature variability. For each cluster the classification was done in two steps, a multiclass tree followed by binary classification trees to distinguish the more challenging stage N1. The test data consisted in 11 patients, in whom the classification was done independently for each channel and then combined to get a single stage per epoch. Main results . An overall agreement of 78% was observed in the test set between the sleep scoring of the algorithm using iEEG alone and two human experts scoring based on scalp EEG, EOG and EMG. Balanced sensitivity and specificity were obtained for the different sleep stages. The performance was excellent for stages W, N2, and N3, and good for stage R, but with high variability across patients. The performance for the challenging stage N1 was poor, but at a similar level as for published algorithms based on scalp EEG. High confidence epochs in different stages (other than N1) can be identified with median per patient specificity >80%. Significance . The automatic algorithm can perform sleep scoring of long-term recordings of patients with intracranial electrodes undergoing presurgical evaluation in the absence of scalp EEG, EOG and EMG, which are normally required to define sleep stages but are difficult to use in the context of intracerebral studies. It also constitutes a valuable tool to generate hypotheses regarding local aspects of sleep, and will be significant for sleep evaluation in clinical epileptology and neuroscience research.

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
