Quickstart#

Install

pip install eegdash

Access the data

from eegdash.dataset import DS006437

dataset = DS006437(cache_dir="./data")
# Get the raw object of the first recording
raw = dataset.datasets[0].raw
print(raw.info)

Filter by subject

dataset = DS006437(cache_dir="./data", subject="01")

Advanced query

dataset = DS006437(
    cache_dir="./data",
    query={"subject": {"$in": ["01", "02"]}},
)

Iterate recordings

for rec in dataset:
    print(rec.subject, rec.raw.info['sfreq'])

LIGHT Dataset

During these guided imagery hypnotherapy sessions, a hypnotherapist integrates storytelling and deep visualizations techniques to encourage personal and wellbeing. This method allows individuals to explore and modify their subconscious narratives, in order to foster changes that resonate through their lives. This differs from traditional hypnotherapy by tapping into eudaemonic aspects of well-being, emphasizing the pursuit of meaning and self realization.

2 weeks before the first session, they will come to the lab to record baseline resting EEG (session 0). With the exception of sessions 1, 4, and 8, all LIGHT sessions were performed virtually. For sessions 1, 4, and 8, EEG and ECG data was collected. The first phase of each session was guided relaxation or induction followed by prompts to visualize a perfect place of comfort and safely in ones creative imagination. Next, they were prompted to visualize a path or a set of stairs, and asked to walk down that path or stairway for ten steps, counting down from 10 to 1 outloud. They were guided to visualize and describe a chair or seat, followed by a crown. After taking a seat in their imagined chair and putting on the crown, they were encouraged to pause and observe the world they had conjured. Following this brief period of reflection, awareness was drawn to a light or color that emerged from their creative mind. They identified the color of the light and were instructed to imagine that light entering and traveling through their body, filling up each cell as it passed through. The participant was instructed to leave a mental bookmark in this place so that they could come back to it at any time, before removing and storing their crown. At the end of the LIGHT sessions, the participant was asked to rise from their imagined chair or throne and count their way up from one to ten, with the session ending as the participant returned to an awake and alert state at the end of the ten count.

Baseline recordings were 5 minute of length. Hypnotherapy recordings are variable in length with multiple events indicating a hypnotherapist phase transitions.

API Reference#

Use the DS006437 class to access this dataset programmatically.

class eegdash.dataset.DS006437(cache_dir: str, query: dict | None = None, s3_bucket: str | None = None, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: EEGDashDataset

OpenNeuro dataset ds006437. Modality: eeg; Experiment type: Clinical/Intervention; Subject type: Healthy. Subjects: 9; recordings: 63; tasks: 5.

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.
