36-participant EEG dataset — EEG data during three near-threshold visual detection tasks: a no-cue task, a noninformative cue task (50% validity), and an informative cue task (100% validity).
Quickstart#
Install
pip install eegdash
Access the data
from eegdash.dataset import DS006171
dataset = DS006171(cache_dir="./data")
# Get the raw object of the first recording
raw = dataset.datasets[0].raw
print(raw.info)
Filter by subject
dataset = DS006171(cache_dir="./data", subject="01")
Advanced query
dataset = DS006171(
cache_dir="./data",
query={"subject": {"$in": ["01", "02"]}},
)
Iterate recordings
for rec in dataset:
print(rec.subject, rec.raw.info['sfreq'])

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 DS006171 >>> dataset = DS006171(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.
