About This Dataset#

Age-related differences in EEG, ECG and pupilography during auditory cued reaction time tasks

In this study, we acquired the electroencephalogram (EEG), pupilogram and electrocardiogram (ECG) while a group of young (N = 36) and a group of older (N = 39) adults were engaged in auditory cued reaction time tasks (active tasks) or passively listening to the auditory stimulus used as temporal cue, presented with the same frequency as in the active tasks (passive task - 4 minutes acquired at the beginning of the session).

The active tasks were a cued simple reaction time task and a cued go/no-go task. In the active tasks, 16% of the trials were cue only trials (the cue was presented but no target followed).

The order of the active tasks was counterbalanced across participants and were acquired in two runs of 8 minutes per task. In each task, we acquired 120 trials. In the simple reaction time task, 100 trials were cue-target trials and 20 trials were cue-only. In the go/no-go task, 80 trials were cue-go trials, 20 were cue-no-go trials, and 20 trials were cue-only trials.

Participants were fixating a grey computer screen with a lighter grey fixation cross at the center. The auditory stimuli were single-frequency signals (pure tones) with duration 250 ms, with the following frequencies: cue 1500 Hz; go stimulus 1700 Hz; no-go stimulus 1300 Hz; and error feedback signal 1000 Hz. The sounds were played at around 67 dB(A) from a hi-fi speakers system. All stimuli were suprathreshold. EEG signal was recorded using a 64-channel Neuroscan system with scalp electrodes placed according to the International 10-20 electrode placement standard, with reference between the electrodes CPz and Cz and ground between FPz and Fz. Acquisition rate was 500 Hz. Vertical and horizontal electrooculograms were recorded to monitor eye movements and blinks. Bipolar electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes were placed on the chest. During data acquisition, the participants head was stabilized with a chin and forehead rest. Consequently, the electrodes on the forehead, FP1, FPz, and FP2, displayed signal fluctuation artifacts due to the pressure on the forehead rest. These were excluded from the recordings.

Electrode positions were measured using a 3D-digitizer Fastrak (Polhemus, VT, USA) and imported into the EEGLAB files. Pupil data was acquired with iView X Hi-Speed 1250 system from SMI with a sampling rate of 240 Hz. Pupil data was imported into the EEG dataset with the EYE-EEG EEGLAB plugin.

Synchronized EEG, ECG and pupil data are included in separate channels in the EEGLAB .set files.

NEMAR Processing Statistics#

The plots below are generated by NEMAR’s automated EEG pipeline. The histogram shows pipeline success for data cleaning and ICA decomposition, the percentage of data frames and EEG channels retained after artefact removal, line noise per channel (RMS, dB), and the age/gender distribution of participants.

  • cache_dir (str | Path) – Directory where data are cached locally.

  • query (dict | None) – Additional MongoDB-style filters to AND with the dataset selection. Must not contain the key dataset.

  • s3_bucket (str | None) – Base S3 bucket used to locate the data.

  • **kwargs (dict) – Additional keyword arguments forwarded to EEGDashDataset.

data_dir#

Local dataset cache directory (cache_dir / dataset_id).

Type:

Path

query#

Notes

Each item is a recording; recording-level metadata are available via dataset.description. query supports MongoDB-style filters on fields in ALLOWED_QUERY_FIELDS and is combined with the dataset filter. Dataset-specific caveats are not provided in the summary metadata.

__init__(cache_dir: str, query: dict | None = None, s3_bucket: str | None = None, **kwargs)[source]#
save(path: str, overwrite: bool = False, offset: int = 0)[source]#

Save datasets to files by creating one subdirectory for each dataset:

path/
    0/
        0-raw.fif | 0-epo.fif
        description.json
        raw_preproc_kwargs.json (if raws were preprocessed)
        window_kwargs.json (if this is a windowed dataset)
        window_preproc_kwargs.json  (if windows were preprocessed)
        target_name.json (if target_name is not None and dataset is raw)
    1/
        1-raw.fif | 1-epo.fif
        description.json
        raw_preproc_kwargs.json (if raws were preprocessed)
        window_kwargs.json (if this is a windowed dataset)
        window_preproc_kwargs.json  (if windows were preprocessed)
        target_name.json (if target_name is not None and dataset is raw)
Parameters:
  • path (str) –

    Directory in which subdirectories are created to store

    -raw.fif | -epo.fif and .json files to.

  • overwrite (bool) – Whether to delete old subdirectories that will be saved to in this call.

  • offset (int) – If provided, the integer is added to the id of the dataset in the concat. This is useful in the setting of very large datasets, where one dataset has to be processed and saved at a time to account for its original position.
