Paradigm-Specific Parameters

  • Detected paradigm: p300

  • Number of repetitions: 8

Data Structure

  • Trials: {‘Target’: 128, ‘non-Target’: 640}

  • Trials per class: Target=128, non-Target=640

  • Trials context: per session (Training session); variable in Online session depending on user performance

Preprocessing

  • Data state: raw EEG with software tagging (note: tagging introduces jitter and latency)

  • Preprocessing applied: False

  • Notes: Software tagging introduces a jitter and a latency which artificially modify the ERPs onset. Strong drift over time resulting in higher jitter. Only possible to compare ERP acquired within the same experimental conditions when latency is not corrected.

Abstract

We describe the experimental procedures for a dataset that we have made publicly available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2649006 in mat and csv formats. This dataset contains electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings of 25 subjects testing the Brain Invaders (1), a visual P300 Brain-Computer Interface inspired by the famous vintage video game Space Invaders (Taito, Tokyo, Japan). The visual P300 is an event-related potential elicited by a visual stimulation, peaking 240-600 ms after stimulus onset. EEG data were recorded by 16 electrodes in an experiment that took place in the GIPSA-lab, Grenoble, France, in 2012 (2,3). Python code for manipulating the data is available at plcrodrigues/py.BI.EEG.2012-GIPSA. The ID of this dataset is BI.EEG.2012-GIPSA.

Methodology

The visual P300 is an event-related potential (ERP) elicited by a visual stimulation, peaking 240-600 ms after stimulus onset. The experiment features a training-test mode of operation and both a longitudinal and transversal design. Training session: Target alien chosen randomly at each repetition, 8 Targets total, 8 repetitions each, resulting in 128 Target trials and 640 non-Target flashes. Online session: consisted of three levels with different distractor configurations, minimum 3.5 minutes per level, counter-balanced order across subjects. Interface: 36 aliens flashing in 12 groups of 6, each repetition has 12 flashes (2 Target, 10 non-Target). P300 peak latency: 240-600 ms post-stimulus.
