nm000144 NEMAR-native dataset

BNCI 2015-004 Mental tasks dataset

This EEG dataset comprises recordings from 9 individuals with central nervous system damage (stroke and spinal cord injury) performing five mental imagery tasks: word association, mental subtraction, spatial navigation, right-hand motor imagery, and feet motor imagery. Participants completed two sessions with visual cue-guided trials lasting 11 seconds each, including 7 seconds of continuous mental imagery. The dataset contains preprocessed EEG data acquired at 256 Hz from 30 electrodes using g.tec hardware, designed to support brain-computer interface research and rehabilitation applications.

  2. Local processing with nemar-cli.

    Pull the dataset to your machine and run any toolbox locally. Honors the published version pinning.

    npm install -g nemar-cli
    nemar dataset clone nm000144
    cd nm000144 && nemar dataset get
  3. Just the files.

    rclone, aria2c, or any HTTPS client works against data.nemar.org/nm000144/ — the manifest carries presigned S3 URLs.

Direct compute access is coming soon. One-click NSG submission from this page is scoped for a follow-up phase. Tracked on nemarOrg/website#6.
