Quickstart#

Install

pip install eegdash

Access the data

from eegdash.dataset import DS004621

dataset = DS004621(cache_dir="./data")
# Get the raw object of the first recording
raw = dataset.datasets[0].raw
print(raw.info)

Filter by subject

dataset = DS004621(cache_dir="./data", subject="01")

Advanced query

dataset = DS004621(
    cache_dir="./data",

About This Dataset#

The Nencki-Symfonia EEG/ERP dataset (dataset DOI: doi.org/10.5524/100990)

IMPORTANT NOTE: The dataset contains no errors (BIDS-1). The numerous warnings currently displayed are a result of OpenNeuro updating its validator to BIDS-2. The OpenNeuro team is actively working on refining the validator to display only meaningful warnings (more information on OpenNeuro GitHub page). At this time, as dataset owners, we are unable to take any action to resolve these warnings.

Description: mixed cognitive tasks [(i) an extended multi-source interference task, MSIT+; (ii) a 3-stimuli oddball task; (iii) a control, simple reaction task, SRT; and (iv) a resting-state protocol]

Release history: 26/01/2022: Initial release (GigaDB) 15/06/2023: Added to OpenNeuro; updated README and dataset_description.json; minor updated to .json files related with BIDS errors/warnings. Updated events files (ms changed to s). 12/10/2023: public release on OpenNeuro after deleting some additional, not needed system information from raw logfiles 10/2024: minor correction of logfiles in the /sourcedata directory (MSIT and SRT) for sub-01 to sub-03 02/2025 (v1.0.3): corrections to REST files for subjects sub-20 and sub-23 (EEG and .tsv files) – corrected marker names and removed redundant markers

No scalp electrode layout is currently indexed for this dataset. Once the eegdash montage registry ingests it, the interactive viewer will appear here automatically.

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.

The Nencki-Symfonia EEG/ERP dataset

Study:

ds004621 (OpenNeuro)

Author (year):

Patrycja2023_Nencki

Canonical:

Also importable as: DS004621, Patrycja2023_Nencki.

Modality: eeg. Subjects: 42; recordings: 167; 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 DS004621
>>> dataset = DS004621(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.
