About This Dataset#

1,983 overnight polysomnographic (PSG) recordings from subjects monitored at

the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) sleep laboratory for sleep disorder diagnosis. The dataset was created for the PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology Challenge 2018 on automatic arousal detection. - Training set: 994 subjects (with expert annotations) - Test set: 989 subjects (PSG signals only, no annotations) - Demographics: mean age 55 +/- 14 years (range 18-93), 65% male, 35% female - Clinical population: subjects with suspected obstructive sleep apnea

You Snooze You Win: PhysioNet/CinC Challenge 2018 PSG

Overview

  • EOG (1): E1-M2 (left electrooculogram)

  • EMG (1): Chin1-Chin2 (submental chin electromyogram)

  • Respiratory (3): ABD (abdominal effort), CHEST (thoracic effort), AIRFLOW (nasal/oral airflow)

  • SpO2 (1): SaO2 (pulse oximetry, resampled to 200 Hz)

  • ECG (1): ECG (single-lead electrocardiogram)

Annotations (training set only, in events.tsv)

Sleep staging (AASM standard, 30-second contiguous epochs):

Wake, N1, N2, N3, REM

Respiratory events (with onset and duration):

resp_obstructiveapnea — complete upper airway obstruction resp_centralapnea — absent respiratory effort resp_mixedapnea — combined obstructive + central resp_hypopnea — partial airway obstruction (>=30% flow reduction)

Arousal events:

arousal_rera — respiratory effort-related arousal arousal_spontaneous — spontaneous cortical arousal arousal_snore — snoring-related arousal arousal_plm — periodic leg movement arousal

Participants metadata (in participants.tsv)

Per-subject: age, sex, split (training/test), recording duration, sleep architecture (epoch counts per stage), and respiratory/arousal event counts.

Sessions

  • ses-training: 994 subjects with PSG + annotations

  • ses-test: 989 subjects with PSG only (no annotations)

Notes

  • Original format: WFDB (.mat + .hea + .arousal)

  • All signals originally at 200 Hz; SaO2 was resampled to match

  • Annotators: certified sleep technologists at MGH, following AASM manual

  • Updated arousal annotations (new-arousals.zip) supersede originals

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.

  • **kwargs (dict) – Additional keyword arguments forwarded to EEGDashDataset.

data_dir#

Local dataset cache directory (cache_dir / dataset_id).

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 NM000225
>>> dataset = NM000225(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.
