Suspicious looking mu rhythm on <scp>SEEG</scp>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A 39-year-old gentleman was investigated with stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) in the context of multiple cavernomas (left posterior frontal and parietal) and recurrent seizures despite a previous left amygdalectomy. Abundant high-amplitude activity in long runs was suspected to be epileptiform due to its morphology and close association with the left parietal cavernoma. With right hand movement and sleep, the discharges consistently attenuated, in contrast to other epileptiform discharges, leading us to conclude that it was mu rhythm (Figures 1 and 2). Mu rhythm, a well-recognized variant of the dominant alpha/beta rhythms seen in the central sensori-motor regions,1 is blocked by contralateral voluntary/passive movement or somatosensory stimulation.2 Its generating sources are located at the somatosensory cortex.3-5 To the best of our knowledge, there is only one other study that assessed mu in three patients with SEEG.6 Literature on the appearance of normal variants in SEEG is lacking. Care should be taken that physiological rhythms are not mistaken for epileptiform activity. When in doubt, reactivity and activity protocols can be helpful. No funding information.

Any queries (other than missing content) should be directed to the corresponding author for the article. How can normal variant mu rhythm present on SEEG? Where is mu rhythm most commonly seen? What attenuates mu rhythm, both on scalp and stereo-EEG? Answers may be found in the Supporting information.

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.
