Researchers have investigated the effectiveness of decoding anesthetic states from electrocorticography (ECoG) data in mice. Their findings indicate that while neural representations of anesthetic states transfer well across different drug classes, the failure in decoding accuracy, particularly with ketamine, lies in the decision threshold rather than the representation itself. By implementing a causal, label-free threshold anchored to a subject's pre-induction baseline, they were able to significantly improve ketamine decoding accuracy, suggesting that calibration is the key challenge in cross-drug state decoding.
