Quickstart#

Install

pip install eegdash

Access the data

from eegdash.dataset import DS004033

dataset = DS004033(cache_dir="./data")

dataset = DS004033(cache_dir="./data", subject="01")

Advanced query

dataset = DS004033(
    cache_dir="./data",
    query={"subject": {"$in": ["01", "02"]}},

About This Dataset#

The electrode and synchronized walking study: Participants performed 3 tasks outside:

eyes open/eyes close, standing, walking alone & walking with experimenter oddball task, and 3 walking with experimenter tasks Only part of the second task (standing and walking oddball) was used for the first paper.

Each of 18 participants performed the task using both active (session 1) and passive (session 2) electrodes, in counterbalanced order

Task 1: Eyes open / Eyes closed; 1. Participant stands facing a wall with eyes open (or closed) for 1 min.

Then 1 min of eyes closed (or open). This is counterbalanced and repeated. 2X each type. Task 2: Oddball task: Standing / Walking alone / Walking together. Participants performed an oddball task in which they listened to the tones through headphones and silently counted the deviant tones.

The tones were 800 and 1000 Hz, with the standard/target status counterbalanced across participants. During the walking conditions, participants walked clockwise around an outdoor (roofed) basketball arena, following pylons. Each block was about 5-6 minutes.

Blocks were counterbalanced and repeated 2X each. Task 3: Walking together: Natural / Control / Synchronize 3. Participants walked with the experimenter for 6 minutes in 3 conditions. The experimenter listened to a metronome while walking, and synchronized their steps with it (also true during walking together oddball task). During Natural walking, participant is just asked to walk with the experimenter, with no other instruction. In Control, participant is blinded using side-blinders which block their view of the experimenter. In Synchronize, participants try to synchronize their steps with the experimenter. All walking & oddball conditions started with a countdown (this has a specific trigger for oddball conds, not for task 3 conds. It plays during the first ~ 12 seconds of the 6 min trial - Joanna Scanlon (Feb 2022)

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.

Modality: eeg; Experiment type: Attention; Subject type: Healthy. Subjects: 18; recordings: 36; tasks: 2.

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 DS004033
>>> dataset = DS004033(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.
