About This Dataset#

Data was collected at the University of Michigan by Steven Peterson in the lab of Daniel Ferris. This study’s protocol was approved by the University of Michigan Institutional Review Board and all participants provided written consent.

Each data file includes synchronized 128-channel EEG, lower leg EMG, neck EMG, EOG, and motion capture data. Participants performed four 10-minute, same-day sessions where they either stood or walked at 0.22 m/s on a treadmill-mounted balance beam that was 2.5 cm tall and 12.7 cm wide.

During each session, participants were exposed to sensorimotor perturbations (either virtual-reality-induced visual field rotations or side-to-side waist pulls, lasting 0.5 seconds and 1 second in duration, respectively). Each session involved 150 perturbation events, balanced between rotation/pull directions.

We have included the indices of all good channels for each participant in EEG.etc.good_chans of each .set file (includes non-EEG channel indices). Criteria for determining good/bad EEG channels can be found in our eNeuro publication. EEG.etc also includes the resulting ICA sphere and weight matrices when run on only the EEG channels, along with the selected good IC’s that were retained for our analyses.

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.

Canonical:

Also importable as: DS003739, Peterson2021_Perturbed_beam_walking.

Modality: eeg. Subjects: 30; recordings: 120; tasks: 4.

Parameters:
  • 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#

Merged query with the dataset filter applied.

Type:

dict

records#

Metadata records used to build the dataset, if pre-fetched.

Type:

list[dict] | None

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.

Examples

>>> from eegdash.dataset import DS003739
>>> dataset = DS003739(cache_dir="./data")
>>> recording = dataset[0]
>>> raw = recording.load()
__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.
