DOI

EEG Dataset for “Auditory representations of words during silent visual reading”

All participants’ data follow the BIDS (Brain Imaging Data Structure) specification.

Event Annotations

Each run includes an events file with onsets, durations, trial types, and event values for all trials.

Stimulus Presentation

Participants viewed word stimuli forming naturalistic narratives, presented on a grey background with a central fixation cross.

Trigger | Type |

  | :--- | :---

``S111`` | Onset of a word in a unique story
``S71`` | Onset of a word in a repeated story

Additional Triggers

*\*Run onset:* S71

* Run end: S78

Derivatives

Processed data files are stored in the ./derivatives folder.

This folder contains the processed EEG, as well as the accompanying meta-data and feature embeddings.

MetaData

The following files are found in the ./derivatives/MetaData/ sub-folder:

Story–Run–Session Match Table

Path: ./derivatives/MetaData/session_story_run Description: A table matching each recording session to the specific story and run it contains.

Story Indexes for Each Epoch

Path: ./derivatives/MetaData/story_epoch_match Description: Provides the specific story index corresponding to each epoch in the processed EEG data.

Expected Index for Each Epoch

Path: ./derivatives/MetaData/expect_or_not Description: Indicates whether the epoch was expected or unexpected. Values: - 1 = expected - 0 = unexpected

Processed EEG Data

The preprocessed EEG signals are located in: ./derivatives/eeg_processed/ Data are organized by channel, where each channel file has the following specifications: - Shape: (nWords, nTimepoints) - nWords: number of words (epochs) - nTimepoints: number of time points per epoch

Corresponding Feature Embeddings

Feature (embeddings) are stored in: ./derivatives/Features/ These feature files follow the same word-level indexing (nWords) as the EEG data: - Shape: (nWords,)

- nWords: number of words (epochs) in the EEG data

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: ON007058.

Modality: eeg; Subject type: Unknown. Subjects: 10; recordings: 395; 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.

Examples

>>> from eegdash.dataset import ON007058
>>> dataset = ON007058(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.
