Quickstart#

Install

§ 02Study · The README

About This Dataset#

Data collection took place at the NeuroCognition Laboratory (NCL) in San Diego, California under the supervision of Dr. Phillip Holcomb. This project followed the San Diego State University’s IRB guidelines.

Participants sat in a comfortable chair in a darkened sound attenuated room throughout the experiment. They were given a gamepad for button pressing. They were instructed to watch the LCD video monitor that was at a viewing distance of 150cm.

Participants were presented with 300 prime-target pairs. All targets were four-letter English words. Of the 300 critical trials, 100 had English word primes, 100 had ASL sign primes, and 100 had fingerspelled word primes. Half of the primes in each condition were related to the targets. Related English word primes were identity primes to the English word, related fingerspelled word primes were also identity primes, and related ASL primes were ASL translations of the English word targets. The other half of the primes were unrelated to the targets.

Participants were instructed to focus on the purple fixation cross that appeared on the screen for 800ms. This fixation cross then turned white for 500ms. Then, one of three prime conditions was presented: an English word, an ASL sign, or a fingerspelled word. English prime words were presented for 300ms. Signed (M = 565ms) and fingerspelled (M = 1173ms) video primes had variable durations. All target stimuli were 4-letter English words presented for 500ms. Related primes were either identity or translations. Press any of the 4 buttons on the right of the gamepad whenever you see an animal. It doesn’t matter if the animal is presented as a sign, a word, or fingerspelled. Press for ANY animal. You can blink whenever you see purple. A purple + means you have time for a quick blink. A purple (–) means you can blink as much as you want.

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: Memory; Subject type: Healthy. Subjects: 24; recordings: 24; 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.

>>> 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.
