Quickstart#

Install

pip install eegdash

Access the data

from eegdash.dataset import DS005106

dataset = DS005106(cache_dir="./data")
# Get the raw object of the first recording
raw = dataset.datasets[0].raw
print(raw.info)

Filter by subject

dataset = DS005106(cache_dir="./data", subject="01")

Advanced query

dataset = DS005106(
    cache_dir="./data",
    query={"subject": {"$in": ["01", "02"]}},
)

Iterate recordings

for rec in dataset:

About This Dataset#

Data and code for the paper:

Tijl Grootswagers, Genevieve Quek, Zhen Zeng, & Manuel Varlet. 2025. “Human Infant EEG Recordings for 200 Object Images Presented in Rapid Visual Streams.” Scientific Data. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-04744-z

See the linked paper for details.

The “code” directory contains all the code to reproduce the figures in the paper. It requires fieldtrip and cosmomvpa, change the paths to these toolboxes at the top of each script (or remove the lines and add them to the path manually).

Then run the scripts to reproduce each step reported in the paper: 1. run_preprocessing.m (preprocess and epoch data) 2. run_rsa.m (makes the individual RDMs) 3. stats_rsa.m (computes the RSA correlations) 4. plot_design.m (produces Figure 1 in the paper) 5. plot_peaks.m (produces Figure 2 in the paper) 6. plot_rsa.m (produces Figure 3 in the paper)

Each script can also run standalone, as intermediate results are saved in the derivates folder

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.

Modality: eeg. Subjects: 42; recordings: 42; 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.

Examples

>>> from eegdash.dataset import DS005106
>>> dataset = DS005106(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.
