1. Scientific Context & Premise
Primary Premise (bioRxiv (Neuroscience)): "Background Temporal interference (TI) is non-invasive, steerable deep-brain stimulation strategy using multiple kHz-range electric fields whose difference frequency ({triangleup}f) falls within the neural frequency range." Within Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) & Motor Neuron Disease, this work examines bioRxiv Preprint, neuroscience, ALS in relation to plasma/CSF Neurofilament Light Chain (NfL), C9orf72/SOD1/FUS genetics, cryptic exon biomarkers, and ALSFRS-R slopes. Authored by Rhodes, E., Deegan, T., Alania, K..
2. Study Architecture & Findings
Study Architecture: Experimental / Clinical CNS Design (primary study cohort) utilizing Preprint Article, Open Science [DOI: 10.64898/2026.10.13.757892]. Key reported conclusion: "In-phase 15.5 Hz TI increased 14.5 and 15.5 Hz SSVEP amplitude and shortened response times relative to s..."
3. Secondary Analysis & Reusability
Secondary Analysis Applications: (1) Cross-referencing Preprint Article, Open Science variables (bioRxiv Preprint, neuroscience, ALS) against open repositories in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) & Motor Neuron Disease; (2) Benchmarking feature distributions and effect sizes reported in "Artefact-free EEG during temporal interference stimulation reveals phase-specifi"; (3) Informing cohort stratification and endpoint selection.
4. Methodological Caveats & Governance
Preprint Status: This record is an unrefereed preprint; findings should be verified against subsequent peer-reviewed publication. When integrating these Preprint Article, Open Science findings, account for cohort-specific inclusion criteria (primary study cohort), potential site/instrument batch effects, and repository license terms (cc_by).

Standardized Acquisition & Preprocessing Workflow
1. Programmatic Metadata & Full-Text OA Retrieval
Query Europe PMC or Crossref REST APIs using the persistent DOI/URL to retrieve structured XML full text, supplementary tables, and grant links.
2. Study Design & Cohort Eligibility Screening
Extract sample size, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and primary outcome endpoints for systematic review (PRISMA) inclusion.
3. Data Availability & Supplementary Repository Linkage
Locate accession numbers (GEO, SRA, OpenNeuro, DANDI, Zenodo, Figshare) referenced in the Data Availability section.
4. Citation Graph & Replication Tracking
Monitor supporting and contrasting citations over time to verify whether key findings have been independently replicated.
Reproducibility & Governance Checklist
- Verify whether the source is a peer-reviewed journal publication or an unrefereed preprint before clinical citation.
- Check supplementary data licenses (CC-BY / CC0) when extracting figures or summary statistics for meta-analyses.
- Cross-reference NCT clinical trial identifiers when evaluating therapeutic efficacy or biomarker endpoints.
