Quickstart#

Install

pip install eegdash

Access the data

from eegdash.dataset import ON005279

dataset = ON005279(cache_dir="./data")
# Get the raw object of the first recording
raw = dataset.datasets[0].raw
print(raw.info)

Filter by subject

dataset = ON005279(cache_dir="./data", subject="01")

Advanced query

dataset = ON005279(
    cache_dir="./data",
    query={"subject": {"$in": ["01", "02"]}},
)

Iterate recordings

for rec in dataset:
    print(rec.subject, rec.raw.info['sfreq'])

About This Dataset#

This study was conducted at the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest Hospital in Toronto, Canada.

This dataset contains 30 healthy young adults’ MEG (CTF), sMRI, and behavioural data on a picture-word interference (PWI) task. Subjects were shown images of objects one by one and were instructed to retrieve the name of the pictures covertly and judge whether the name ends in a target sound given at the beginning of each task block, by pressing the yes or no buttons with their right hand. Whenever they see an image, they will often also hear a distractor word played through their earphone. The picture and word could be phonologically related, semantically related, or unrelated.

There were 3 runs of the PWI task for each participant. Each run contained 120 trials, containing an equal number of trials for each picture-word condition. Behaviourally, the reaction time and accuracy of their button-pressing response were recorded. Meanwhile, the MEG data was epoched to the picture onset and response onset for event-related analyses. Each subject obtained their own structural MRI for MEG source localization.

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.

Author (year):

Canonical:

Also importable as: ON005279.

Modality: meg; Subject type: Unknown. Subjects: 30; recordings: 90; tasks: 0.

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 ON005279

>>> 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.
