Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Subhairline electroencephalography (EEG) is a limited-montage EEG with applications in epilepsy and neurocritical care. It has potential advantages in resource-limited settings and may help in the early diagnosis and management of seizures and status epilepticus while providing real-time electrophysiological monitoring. It has several important technical limitations such as reduced spatial coverage, low sampling rate, inadequate bit depth and review software with limited features. Clinicians must carefully consider these limitations for proper interpretation and so avoid diagnoses based on false positives or false negatives. We present six cases using subhairline EEG and their corresponding 10-20 EEG recordings to help in pattern recognition and to highlight the usefulness and limitations of this technique.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
