About This Dataset#

This dataset contains multimodal physiological recordings acquired during smartphone interaction and video viewing conditions. The dataset includes simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking, photoplethysmography (PPG), and galvanic skin response (GSR) signals.

Participants complete two experimental conditions while wearing a 64-channel EEG cap and a head-mounted eye tracker, with simultaneous PPG and GSR recordings:

Smartphone Monitor condition (10 min): Participants engage in naturalistic smartphone use using their personal devices. They are instructed to interact freely with one of their most frequently used applications (e.g., browsing, reading, or app interaction). No constraints are imposed on interaction style. Video Monitor condition (5 min): Participants view a standardized video presented on a monitor.

Participants

Number of participants: 23 (sub-01 to sub-23) Participants are healthy adults. Detailed demographic and experimental information (age, sex, and smartphone application type) is provided on participants.tsv at the root of the dataset.

Hardware Synchronization and Event Markers

Session boundaries are marked using hardware-based transistor–transistor logic (TTL) synchronization pulses. Five TTL pulses are delivered at ~1-second intervals to mark session onset and offset. Additional TTL pulses are generated every 20 seconds during the session. These triggers are embedded in both EEG and eye-tracking data streams, enabling precise temporal alignment across all modalities. EEG event markers are defined for two conditions: Smartphone Monitor (onset: S 12; offset: S 13) and Video Monitor (onset: S 22; offset: S 23).

In the eye-tracking data, session boundaries are identified using TTL bursts consisting of five pulses occuring at ~1-second intervals with pulse characteristics (Type: sig; Direction: in; Value: 1.0). Additional synchronization pulses are present at ~20-second intervals during sessions.

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. Subjects: 23; recordings: 23; 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).

Merged query with the dataset filter applied.

Type:

dict

records#

Metadata records used to build the dataset, if pre-fetched.

>>> 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.
