Local neurodynamics as a signature of cortical areas: new insights from sleep
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Sleep crucial for the animal survival is accompanied by huge changes in neuronal electrical activity over time, the neurodynamics. Here, drawing on intracranial stereo-electroencephalographic (sEEG) recordings from the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI), we analyzed local neurodynamics in the waking state at rest and during the N2, N3, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep phases. Higuchi fractal dimension (HFD)-a measure of signal complexity-was studied as a feature of the local neurodynamics of the primary motor (M1), somatosensory (S1), and auditory (A1) cortices. The key working hypothesis, that the relationships between local neurodynamics preserve in all sleep phases despite the neurodynamics complexity reduces in sleep compared with wakefulness, was supported by the results. In fact, while HFD awake > REM > N2 > N3 (P < 0.001 consistently), HFD in M1 > S1 > A1 in awake and all sleep stages (P < 0.05 consistently). Also power spectral density was studied for consistency with previous investigations. Meaningfully, we found a local specificity of neurodynamics, well quantified by the fractal dimension, expressed in wakefulness and during sleep. We reinforce the idea that neurodynamic may become a new criterion for cortical parcellation, prospectively improving the understanding and ability of compensatory interventions for behavioral disorders.

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.
