Install
pip install eegdash
Access the data
from eegdash.dataset import NM000127
dataset = NM000127(cache_dir="./data")
# Get the raw object of the first recording
raw = dataset.datasets[0].raw
print(raw.info)
Filter by subject
dataset = NM000127(cache_dir="./data", subject="01")
Advanced query
dataset = NM000127(
cache_dir="./data",
query={"subject": {"$in": ["01", "02"]}},
)
Iterate recordings
for rec in dataset:
print(rec.subject, rec.raw.info['sfreq'])

Examples
>>> from eegdash.dataset import NM000127 >>> dataset = NM000127(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.
