About This Dataset#

This is the “Sternberg Difficult” dataset contain RAW EEG data. Raven Progressive Standard Matrices scores for each participant are provided in participants.tsv

Participants completed a version of the Sternberg task (Sternberg, 1966; Fig 1) during EEG recording. Stimuli were all consonants of the Russian alphabet letters, except for “щ”[sch] and “й” [ij], presented in sets of 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 letters. No letter repeated within a set. Each trial was preceded by a 500-1000 ms fixation cross. Encoding (letter set), retention (blank screen), and retrieval (probe letter) phases were allocated 1500ms, 2000ms and 1500ms, respectively. After 1500 ms period, the probe letter disappeared from the screen. Participants were asked to recall whether the probe letter was in the letter set presented during encoding phase. They had unlimited time to respond by pressing a button: the “left arrow” for “no” and the “right arrow” for “yes”. The trial concluded immediately after a response was made, regardless of the reaction time. Participants completed 200 trials in total with 40 trials in difficulty blocks corresponding to each particular set size (i.e., 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 letters) with an opportunity to take a break after each block. The order of blocks was random, and the number of positive and negative probes was equal in each block. All stimuli were presented and responses were recorded using Psychopy2.

Overview

Event triggers

Important: Triggers in the dataset correspond only to the beginning of the stimulus presentation. No additional triggers were implemented to mark the onset of the retention and retrieval periods. However, these timepoints can be computed based on the experimental design. Each sample was presented for 1500 ms, meaning that the retention time occurred strictly 1500 ms after the trigger point appeared in the data. Similarly, the time of retrieval (when participants had to explicitly state whether a new letter had been shown previously) could be marked at 3500 ms relative to the trial onset.

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. Subjects: 48; recordings: 48; tasks: 1.

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.

__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.
