About This Dataset#
The YOTO (You Only Think Once) dataset presents a human electroencephalography (EEG) resource for exploring multisensory perception and mental imagery. The study enrolled 20 participants who performed tasks involving both unimodal and multimodal stimuli. Researchers collected high-resolution EEG signals at a 1000 Hz sampling rate to capture high-temporal-resolution neural activity related to internal mental representations. The protocol incorporated visual, auditory, and combined cues to investigate the integration of multiple sensory modalities, and participants provided self-reported vividness ratings that indicate subjective perceptual strength. Technical validation involved event-related potentials (ERPs) and power spectral density (PSD) analyses, which demonstrated the reliability of the data and confirmed distinct neural responses across stimuli. This dataset aims to foster studies on neural decoding, perception, and cognitive modeling, and it is publicly accessible for researchers who seek to advance multimodal mental imagery research and related applications.

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.

Examples
>>> from eegdash.dataset import DS005815 >>> dataset = DS005815(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.
