Bonn intracranial EEG segments, sets C, D and E (iEEG-BIDS)

Overview

Source dataset: doi:10.34810/data490, hdl:10230/42894 (Repositori Digital de la UPF; mirror of the UPF NTSA download page). The authors ask: “The correct citation is Phys. Rev. E, 64, 061907. No page numbers should be given.” This BIDS dataset is a lossless re-packaging of the intracranial sets only. Every sample is identical to the published text files; nothing was filtered, resampled, re-referenced or rescaled during conversion.

Which sets are included, and why

The source has five sets (A-E) of 100 segments each:

| Set | Source file | Recording | In this dataset |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | `Z.zip` | surface (scalp) EEG, five healthy volunteers, awake, eyes open | **no**: scalp EEG from healthy volunteers, not intracranial |
| B | `O.zip` | surface (scalp) EEG, five healthy volunteers, awake, eyes closed | **no**: scalp EEG from healthy volunteers, not intracranial |
| C | `N.zip` | intracranial, seizure-free interval, hippocampal formation of the opposite hemisphere | yes (`task-interictal_acq-setC`) |
| D | `F.zip` | intracranial, seizure-free interval, within the epileptogenic zone | yes (`task-interictal_acq-setD`) |
| E | `S.zip` | intracranial, seizure activity, all recording sites exhibiting ictal activity | yes (`task-ictal_acq-setE`) |

This is an intracranial EEG (iEEG) release. Sets A and B are scalp recordings from healthy volunteers, so they are not redistributed here. They remain available from the source record.

Cohort and recording

| | |
|---|---|
| Patients | 5 epilepsy patients from the presurgical-diagnosis EEG archive of the Department of Epileptology, University of Bonn; all achieved complete seizure control after resection of one hippocampal formation (paper, Sec. II A) |
| Implant | depth electrodes implanted symmetrically into both hippocampal formations; strip electrodes on the lateral and basal neocortex (paper, Fig. 2) |
| Sets C and D | hippocampal depth-electrode contacts (C: opposite hemisphere; D: within the epileptogenic zone), seizure-free interval |
| Set E | contacts of any depicted electrode (depth or strip) exhibiting ictal activity |
| Amplifier | "the same 128-channel amplifier system" for all sets; manufacturer and model not reported |
| Digitization | 12-bit analog-to-digital conversion, 173.61 Hz |
| Reference | average common reference, omitting electrodes containing pathological activity |
| Age, sex, per-patient details | not reported by the source; segments cannot be attributed to patients |

Recordings (paper, Sec. II A)

  • “Sets C, D, and E originated from our EEG archive of presurgical diagnosis. For the present study EEGs from five patients were selected, all of whom had achieved complete seizure control after resection of one of the hippocampal formations, which was therefore correctly diagnosed to be the epileptogenic zone.”

  • Depth electrodes were implanted symmetrically into the hippocampal formations. Segments of sets C and D were taken from all contacts of the respective depth electrode. Strip electrodes were implanted onto the lateral and basal regions of the neocortex. Segments of set E were taken from contacts of all depicted electrodes (paper, Fig. 2).

  • Segments (23.6 s each) were selected and cut out of continuous multichannel EEG recordings after visual inspection for artifacts, e.g. muscle activity or eye movements. They also had to satisfy a weak-stationarity criterion (paper, Sec. II B).

  • “All EEG signals were recorded with the same 128-channel amplifier system, using an average common reference [omitting electrodes containing pathological activity (C, D, and E) …]. After 12 bit analog-to-digital conversion, the data were written continuously onto the disk of a data acquisition computer system at a sampling rate of 173.61 Hz. Band-pass filter settings were 0.53-40 Hz (12 dB/oct.).”

Task / paradigm and timing

There was no task. Each run is one 23.6 s segment cut by the authors out of a continuous clinical recording: task-interictal (sets C and D, seizure-free interval) or task-ictal (set E, seizure activity). Segments are not time-locked to any stimulus or to seizure onset, and their position in the original recording is not provided. Each ..._events.tsv has one event (onset 0, duration of the run) whose trial_type names the set (levels described in task-*_events.json).

Files

Content and verified properties

| | |
|---|---|
| Segments | 300 (100 per set C, D, E) |
| Channels per run | 1 (`x`) |
| Samples per segment | **4097** in every file (the paper and the download page say 4096) |
| Sampling rate | 173.61 Hz (duration 4097 / 173.61 = 23.599 s) |
| Values | integers, -1885 to 2047 |
| Patients | 5 (pooled; segment-to-patient mapping not provided) |

The values are integers in the range of a signed 12-bit converter (-2048 to 2047). Three segments reach 2047, the converter maximum, in 72 samples in total (set D: 1 file; set E: 2 files). These samples are probably clipped. Per-file counts are in sub-pooled_scans.tsv (n_samples_at_2047).

BIDS layout and source-to-BIDS mapping

The source states: “the signals included in these sets are randomized with regard to the recording contact and the patient or volunteer. Accordingly, the information which signal corresponds to which recording contact or patient or volunteer is not available.” All runs therefore sit under one pseudo-subject, sub-pooled. This is not one person: it pools anonymous segments from five patients. Do not treat segments as independent subjects.

| Source | BIDS |
|---|---|
| `N.zip` / `N<NNN>.TXT` (set C) | `sub-pooled/ieeg/sub-pooled_task-interictal_acq-setC_run-<NNN>_ieeg.{vhdr,vmrk,eeg}` |
| `F.zip` / `F<NNN>.txt` (set D) | `sub-pooled/ieeg/sub-pooled_task-interictal_acq-setD_run-<NNN>_ieeg.{vhdr,vmrk,eeg}` |
| `S.zip` / `S<NNN>.txt` (set E) | `sub-pooled/ieeg/sub-pooled_task-ictal_acq-setE_run-<NNN>_ieeg.{vhdr,vmrk,eeg}` |
| the single column of each file | channel `x` |
| `N.zip`, `F.zip`, `S.zip`, repository metadata | byte-identical copies in `sourcedata/upf-repositori-10230-42894/` |
| `Z.zip`, `O.zip` (sets A, B, scalp) | not included (see above) |

The run number equals the number in the source file name (001-100). task-interictal / task-ictal label the brain state; there was no task. sub-pooled_scans.tsv lists for every run the set, source file and its SHA-256, value range, clipping counts, recording region and brain state. Sidecars are shared by inheritance: - sub-pooled_task-interictal_ieeg.json and sub-pooled_task-ictal_ieeg.json - sub-pooled_task-interictal_channels.tsv: type SEEG, because sets C and D come from depth-electrode

contacts in the hippocampal formation.

  • sub-pooled_task-ictal_channels.tsv: type OTHER, because a set E segment may come from a depth or a strip contact and the source does not say which.

  • one ..._acq-setX_events.tsv per set, with a single event spanning the run.

Electrode positions are not available, so there is no electrodes.tsv.

Data format and exactness

The source integers are stored as BrainVision INT_16 (multiplexed, resolution 1). A separate round-trip check re-read all 300 files and compared every sample with the source text (see the campaign ledger).

Preprocessing already applied by the source

  • Segment selection: segments were “selected and cut out of continuous multichannel EEG recordings after visual inspection for artifacts, e.g., due to muscle activity or eye movements” and had to fulfil a weak-stationarity criterion (paper, Sec. II A and II B 2).

  • Segment boundaries (paper, Sec. II B 1, paraphrased): to avoid spurious spectral components from discontinuities, 4396-sample stretches were first cut out of the recordings; within each, the start of the final 4096-sample segment was chosen so that the amplitude difference between the last and first samples was within the range of differences between consecutive samples, and the slopes at the end and start had the same sign.

  • Filtering: see below.

Filtering: the paper and the download page disagree

  • Paper: “Band-pass filter settings were 0.53-40 Hz (12 dB/oct.).”

  • UPF download page (captured 2026-10-06): “The time series you can download here are not filtered. The application of a low-pass filter of 40 Hz, as described in the manuscript, is regarded as the first step of analysis and therefore not carried out for the downloadable time series.”

Both statements are reproduced here; the BIDS sidecars therefore record SoftwareFilters and HardwareFilters as n/a and quote both in FilterNotes. No filtering was done during conversion.

Known caveats

  • sub-pooled is a pseudo-subject that pools five patients; see “BIDS layout and source-to-BIDS mapping”.

  • Every file has 4097 samples although the paper and the download page say 4096; see “Content and verified properties”.

  • Three segments reach the converter maximum (probable clipping); see “Content and verified properties”.

  • The physical unit of the integer values is not documented; see “Units”.

  • The paper and the download page disagree on filtering; see “Filtering”.

  • Set E channels are typed OTHER because a segment may come from a depth or a strip contact.

Units

The source does not state the physical scale of the integer values (for example, microvolts per unit). The paper’s Fig. 3 caption says intracranial amplitudes are “around some 100 µV” and seizure activity “can exceed 1000 µV”, which is consistent with roughly 1 µV per unit. That is not a documented calibration. Channel units are therefore n/a (in channels.tsv and in the BrainVision header), and the values are the source integers unchanged.

Privacy

The published files contain only integer samples (no headers, names, dates or identifiers). The source randomized segments across patients and contacts. Converted headers contain no dates or identifiers.

How to load

The signal files are stored with git-annex on NEMAR; fetch them first (for example git annex get sub-pooled or the NEMAR download tools). Then, with MNE-BIDS:

from mne_bids import BIDSPath, read_raw_bids
bids_path = BIDSPath(root="nm000353", subject="pooled", task="ictal",
                     acquisition="setE", run="001", datatype="ieeg")

raw = read_raw_bids(bids_path)

The channel unit is n/a (see “Units”), so MNE may warn about it. Compare raw.get_data() with the min/max columns of sub-pooled_scans.tsv to check whether your reader applied any scaling to the source integers.

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: ieeg; Subject type: Unknown. Subjects: 1; recordings: 300; tasks: 2.

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.

Examples

>>> from eegdash.dataset import NM000353
>>> dataset = NM000353(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.
