About This Dataset#

This dataset was generated from LSL/XDF recordings. Converted to bids with instructions and code presented here

  • Original recordings are stored under sourcedata/xdf/ as .xdf files (non-BIDS).

  • EEG was converted to BrainVision format (.vhdr/.eeg/.vmrk) under each sub-*/eeg/.

  • *_events.tsv was generated from marker streams and then aligned so onset is relative to the EEG start time.

  • Marker streams include task markers (arithmetic-Markers) and acquisition dropout annotations (UoHDataOffsetStream); events include a marker_stream column and marker definitions are in task-arithmetic_events.json.

  • Pupil Labs gaze/pupil data was exported from the XDF pupil_capture stream into sub-*/eeg/ as eyetrack physio files (*_recording-eyetrack_physio.tsv.gz + *_recording-eyetrack_physio.json; PhysioType=eyetrack).

  • ECG is captured on the EEG system; the ECG channel is typed in *_channels.tsv and exported as *_recording-ecg_physio.tsv.gz + *_recording-ecg_physio.json.

  • ML analysis note: participants excluded from the ML analysis remain in participants.tsv with analysis_included=false; no epoch rejection was applied to this raw dataset.

  • Participant IDs match the original XDF filenames; missing IDs correspond to excluded participants.

    Participants

  • N_recorded: 20

  • N_released: 18

  • Exclusions: 2 participants excluded due to multi-modal acquisition failures (sub-002, sub-017).

  • Demographics in participants.tsv: age (years), sex, handedness.

  • Excluded IDs remain in participants.tsv with analysis_included=false.

    Hardware and data collection - Combined EEG+ECG mobile EEG system (Bateson and Asghar, 2021; Clewett et al., 2016) and Pupil Labs Pupil Core, synchronized via Lab Streaming Layer (LSL). - EEG: 19-channel 10-20 montage (Fp1, Fp2, F7, F3, Fz, F4, F8, T3, C3, Cz, C4, T4, T5, P3, Pz, P4, T6, O1, O2), Ag/AgCl electrodes with linked-ear reference, 250 Hz; impedances checked and Neurgel EEG gel applied. - ECG: 3-lead on the same system; positive lead right shoulder/clavicle, negative lead left shoulder/clavicle, feedback lead lower left torso. - Pupillometry: Pupil Labs Pupil Core eye tracking with infrared illuminators; LSL relay with asynchronous sampling (timestamps per sample).

    Protocol summary - Arithmetic task difficulty was defined using Q-value ranges and randomized order across trials. - Task events encode difficulty in trial_type and difficulty_range (e.g.,baseline, 0.6-1.5, 1.5-2.4, …, 6.0-6.9). - Baseline for 60 seconds and then 70 questions, 10 at each difficulty level presented for 6 seconds each.

    Task: arithmetic Release notes - Recorded 20 participants; released 18. - Reason: multi-modal acquisition QC failure. - Participant IDs match original XDF filenames; missing IDs indicate excluded participants.

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.

Examples

>>> from eegdash.dataset import ON007262
>>> dataset = ON007262(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.
