Quickstart#

Get Started

Install

pip install eegdash

Access the data

from eegdash.dataset import NM000161

dataset = NM000161(cache_dir="./data")
# Get the raw object of the first recording
raw = dataset.datasets[0].raw
print(raw.info)

Query & Filter

Filter by subject

dataset = NM000161(cache_dir="./data", subject="01")

Advanced query

dataset = NM000161(
    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.

API Reference#

Use the NM000161 class to access this dataset programmatically.

class eegdash.dataset.NM000161(cache_dir: str, query: dict | None = None, s3_bucket: str | None = None, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: EEGDashDataset

BNCI 2024-001 Handwritten Character Classification dataset

Study:: nm000161 (NeMAR)
Author (year):: Crell2024
Canonical:: —

Also importable as: NM000161, Crell2024.

Modality: eeg; Experiment type: Motor; Subject type: Healthy. Subjects: 20; recordings: 40; 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.
