nm000135 NEMAR-native dataset

BNCI 2014-004 Motor Imagery dataset

This dataset comprises EEG recordings from 9 healthy subjects performing two-class motor imagery tasks (left vs. right hand movements) as part of BCI Competition IV Dataset 2b. Data were collected across five sessions per subject: two screening sessions without feedback and three feedback sessions with visual smiley feedback. The dataset includes 3 bipolar EEG channels (C3, Cz, C4) and 3 EOG channels sampled at 250 Hz, with online bandpass (0.5-100 Hz) and notch (50 Hz) filtering applied during acquisition.

Abstract

BCI Competition 2008 Graz data set B. EEG data from 9 subjects performing two-class motor imagery (left hand vs right hand). Two screening sessions without feedback (120 trials each) and three feedback sessions with smiley feedback (160 trials each). Three bipolar EEG channels (C3, Cz, C4) and three EOG channels recorded at 250 Hz.

Methodology

Subjects performed kinesthetic motor imagery of left or right hand movements. Two screening sessions (01T, 02T) without feedback: 6 runs x 20 trials = 120 trials per session. Three feedback sessions (03T, 04E, 05E) with smiley feedback: 4 runs x 40 trials (20 per class) = 160 trials per session. Screening trials: fixation cross + beep at t=0, arrow cue at ~t=2 for 1.25s, imagery for 4s, break. Feedback trials: smiley at t=0, beep at t=2, cue from t=3 to t=7.5 with continuous smiley feedback. Three bipolar EEG channels (C3, Cz, C4) plus three monopolar EOG channels recorded at 250 Hz with 0.5-100 Hz bandpass and 50 Hz notch filter. EEG ground at Fz, EOG reference at left mastoid. Amplifier: g.tec. Software: rtsBCI (MATLAB/Simulink).
