About This Dataset#

This dataset was originally published in

Gramann, K., Töllner, T. and Müller, H.J. (2010), Dimension-based attention modulates early visual processing. Psychophysiology, 47: 968-978. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-8986.2010.00998.x It was subsequently used to investigate automatic labeling of independent components in ICA and is referred to as the “Cue” dataset:

Frølich, L., Andersen, T.S. and Mørup, M. (2015), Multi-class classification of ICS of EEG. Psychophysiol, 52: 32-45. https://doi.org/10.1111/psyp.12290

“64 scalp channels “referenced to Cz and re-referenced off-line to linked mastoids” from 12 subjects during a visual task (Gramann et al., 2010). ICA was performed with the implementation of the ICA infomax algorithm in the Brain Vision Analyzer software from Brain Products GmbH.2 The data sets we had access to were between 56 and 66 min long for the different subjects.” After contacting the above authors, Laura Frølich provided a copy of the data. With Klaus Gramann’s permission, this was converted to BIDS format by Austin J. Brockmeier and Carlos H. Mendoza-Cardenas.

Overview

Continuous EEG from 12 with ICA weights.

Subjects

“Twelve observers took part in the Experiment (2 female; age range 21–25 years). All were right-handed, had normal or corrected-to-normal vision, and reported no history of neurological disorder. Observers were either paid or received course credit for participating. All observers provided written informed consent, and the experimental procedure was approved by the ethics committee of the Department of Psychology, University of Munich, in accordance with the Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki).”

Expert-annotated Independent Components (ICs)

The expert-annotated labels of the ICs can be found in the field expert_ica_labels, and the class names in ica_classes. expert_ica_labels(i) is the Matlab-index of ica_classes for the i-th IC. ICs can be computed using the fields data, icasphere, and icaweights (e.g., icaact = icaweights * icasphere * data).

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: Attention; Subject type: Healthy. Subjects: 12; recordings: 12; 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 DS006563
>>> dataset = DS006563(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.
