About This Dataset#

This dataset contains 64-channel EEG recordings from young adults performing a

roving oddball task with emotional face stimuli, together with behavioural ratings of the same stimuli on valence, arousal, and dominance. Participants were recruited and grouped by their score on the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3) to investigate whether subjective loneliness is associated with altered automatic processing of social-emotional information, indexed by ERP components elicited by emotional facial expressions in a roving oddball stream. - Institution: Department of Psychology, University of Amsterdam - Acquisition system: BioSemi ActiveTwo (72 channels, 2048 Hz) - Reference / ground: CMS at Cz / DRL at Fz (BioSemi active-electrode design) - BIDS version: 1.9.0 - License: CC-BY-4.0

participants.tsv lists 99 adults grouped by UCLA Loneliness Scale (UCLA-LS)

score into Lonely (n = 36) and Non-Lonely (n = 63). The file also includes demographics (age, gender, handedness via the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory laterality quotient, educational attainment, self-reported ethnic background) and self-report questionnaire totals: Brief Symptom Inventory-53 (per-subscale mean item scores plus GSI/PSDI/PST), Lubben Social Network Scale-6 (family/friends/total), GAD-7, PSS-10, and PHQ-9. Variable definitions and units are documented in participants.json.

Loneliness EEG — Roving Oddball Task

Overview

The exclude column flags 7 participants (sub-22, sub-37, sub-42, sub-56, sub-65, sub-77, sub-87) recommended for exclusion from primary analyses due to data-quality or protocol issues. Excluded participants are retained in the dataset so that users may make their own inclusion decisions.

Note: an empty cell in ucla-ls (n/a) indicates a participant who screened were screened into one of the groups based on their UCLA-LS score, but their actual score was not recorded due to a data-collection error.

Tasks

task-RovingOddball (EEG)

A roving auditory-style oddball implemented in the visual domain with face stimuli. Trains of repeated presentations of a single face identity are interrupted by a change to a new identity, which acts as the “deviant” beginning of the next train (i.e., every deviant is also the first standard of the following train). Face stimuli were selected from the FACES database, and preprocessed using webmorphR and SHINE. Faces displayed either a happy**or ** angry expression.

Trials are framed by a fixation cross whose colour signals the response requirement on the upcoming train: - White fixation cross (trigger 20): no response required (no_response). - Red fixation cross (trigger 30): participant should respond on any

catch trial within the upcoming train (response).

Each face presentation carries a two-digit trigger code XY, where X indexes the (colour × emotion) combination and Y indexes the serial position within the train (1 = deviant, 2–8 = standards):

| `X` | Colour × emotion         |
|----:|--------------------------|
| 1   | red × angry              |
| 2   | white × angry            |
| 3   | red × happy              |
| 4   | white × happy            |
| 5   | red × neutral *(rare)*   |
| 6   | white × neutral *(rare)* |

Additional codes appearing in *_events.tsv:

| Code | Meaning                                  |
|-----:|------------------------------------------|
| 20   | Fixation cross, white (no-response cue)  |
| 30   | Fixation cross, red (response cue)       |
| 101  | End-of-task marker                       |
| 111  | Button press                             |
| 200  | Feedback                                 |

The full numeric→label mapping used by the preprocessing pipeline (e.g. 41 white/happy/deviant/1) is defined in code/1_organise_bids.py::EVENT_DICT in the analysis repository. No events.json is shipped because trial types are retained as raw integer trigger codes in *_events.tsv to keep the source-of-truth unambiguous; users wishing to recode to descriptive labels should consult that mapping.

task-ImageRatings (behavioural)

After the EEG session, participants rated each face stimulus on three Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) dimensions — valence, arousal, and dominance — on a 1–5 Likert scale. Data are stored as sub-<ID>/beh/sub-<ID>_task-ImageRatings_beh.tsv. Columns: stim_file, emotion (happy/angry), dimension, rating. The accompanying task-ImageRatings_beh.json sidecar at the dataset root documents the levels and instructions.

Stimuli

The face images used in the experiment are drawn from a restricted-access FACES database and **cannot be redistributed**. The stimuli/ folder therefore contains 1×1 black JPEG placeholders that share the original filenames, so that the stim_file paths referenced in events/behavioural TSVs resolve to a real file on disk and satisfy the BIDS validator. See stimuli/README for details and filename conventions (SHINEd_<id>_<age>_<sex>_<emotion>_<version>.jpg). To obtain the original images, contact the dataset maintainer: https://faces.mpdl.mpg.de/imeji/

Derivatives

derivatives/ contains the outputs of the preprocessing pipeline used in the accompanying analyses: - derivatives/sub-<ID>/eeg/sub-<ID>_task-RovingOddball_eeg-epo.fif.gz

cleaned, filtered, ICA-corrected, and epoched EEG (MNE-Python Epochs).

  • derivatives/sub-<ID>/eeg/sub-<ID>_task-RovingOddball_eeg.html — per-subject preprocessing QC report.

  • derivatives/task-RovingOddball_desc-preprocessing_qc.tsv — dataset-level QC table with per-subject epoch counts (broken down by emotion × repetition), retained sampling frequency, and bad channels.

Derivatives are provided for convenience and reproducibility of the reported analyses; users may always recompute them from the raw data.

Examples

>>> from eegdash.dataset import ON007827
>>> dataset = ON007827(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.
