Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Introduction: Despite the common occurrence of idiopathic epilepsy amongst neurological conditions in dogs, electroencephalography (EEG), the gold standard for seizure detection, is relatively neglected. The use of EEG in veterinary medicine is rudimentary compared to that in human medicine, particularly with respect to the quantification of EEG electrode placement error, i.e., the accuracy of electrode placement relative to the diverse canine cortical topography. Methods: = 5) dogs from breeds with archetypal skull conformation. For the Mesocephalic cohort, a stereotactic brain atlas was incorporated into the brain models to quantify electrode placement error via a universal coordinate system. As this was not possible for the Brachycephalic and Dolichocephalic cohort, instead electrode placement was described in relation to cortical landmarks. Results: Gaps in cortical coverage between cohorts were identified, such as poor coverage of the olfactory and frontal regions in the brachycephalic cohort and the parietal region in the Mesocephalic and Dolichocephalic cohorts. Quantitative analysis of electrode placement in the Mesocephalic cohort showed the minimum variance of electrode localization for the x coordinate of the F8 electrode (0.8 mm) and the greatest variance for the y coordinate of the Cz electrode (35.2 mm). Discussion: This is the first study to highlight the knowledge gaps regarding the accuracy of canine EEG electrode localization, differences in the array coverage across the diverse canine skull conformations, and the urgent need for a stereotactic brain atlas for specific canine skull conformations.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
