This database, collected at the Children’s Hospital Boston, consists of EEG recordings from pediatric subjects with intractable seizures. Subjects were monitored for up to several days following withdrawal of anti-seizure medication in order to characterize their seizures and assess their candidacy for surgical intervention. The recordings are grouped into 23 cases and were collected from 22 subjects (5 males, ages 3–22; and 17 females, ages 1.5–19).

The Harvard EEG Database will encompass data gathered from four hospitals affiliated with Harvard University: Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), and Boston Children's Hospital (BCH). The EEG data includes three types:

rEEG: "routine EEGs" recorded in the outpatient setting.
EMU: recordings obtained in the inpatient setting, within the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU).
ICU/LTM: recordings obtained from acutely and critically ill patients within the intensive care unit (ICU).

Univ. of Bonn’ and ‘CHB-MIT Scalp EEG Database’ are publically available datasets which are the most sought after amongst researchers. Bonn dataset is very small compared to CHB-MIT. But still researchers prefer Bonn as it is in simple '.txt' format. The dataset being published here is a preprocessed form of CHB-MIT. The dataset is available in '.csv' format.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on November 22, 2022. Data set collected at the Children''s Hospital Boston, of EEG recordings from pediatric subjects with intractable seizures. Subjects were monitored for up to several days following withdrawal of anti-seizure medication in order to characterize their seizures and assess their candidacy for surgical intervention. All signals were sampled at 256 samples per second with 16-bit resolution. Most files contain 23 EEG signals (24 or 26 in a few cases).

This dataset is a BIDS-compatible version of the CHB-MIT Scalp EEG Database. It reorganizes the file structure to comply with the BIDS specification. To this effect:

• The data from subject chb21 was moved to sub-01/ses-02.
• Metadata was organized according to BIDS.
• Data in the EEG edf files was modified to keep only the 18 channels from a double banana bipolar montage.
• Annotations were formatted as BIDS-score compatible `tsv` files.

Brief overview of the tasks in the experiment

This database, collected at the Children's Hospital Boston, consists of EEG recordings from pediatric subjects with intractable seizures. Subjects were monitored for up to several days following withdrawal of anti-seizure medication in order to characterize their seizures and assess their candidacy for surgical intervention.

Description of the contents of the dataset

Each folder (sub-01, sub-01, etc.) contains between 9 and 42 continuous .edf files from a single subject. Hardware limitations resulted in gaps between consecutively-numbered .edf files, during which the signals were not recorded; in most cases, the gaps are 10 seconds or less, but occasionally there are much longer gaps. In order to protect the privacy of the subjects, all protected health information (PHI) in the original .edf files has been replaced with surrogate information in the files provided here. Dates in the original .edf files have been replaced by surrogate dates, but the time relationships between the individual files belonging to each case have been preserved. In most cases, the .edf files contain exactly one hour of digitized EEG signals, although those belonging to case sub-10 are two hours long, and those belonging to cases sub-04, sub-06, sub-07, sub-09, and sub-23 are four hours long; occasionally, files in which seizures are recorded are shorter.

The EEG is recorded at 256 Hz with a 16-bit resolution. The recordings are referenced in a double banana bipolar montage with 18 channels from the 10-20 electrode system.

The dataset also contains seizure annotations as start and stop times.

The dataset contains 664 `.edf` recordings. 129 those files that contain one or more seizures. In all, these records include 198 seizures.

Methods

Subjects

23 pediatric subjects with intractable seizures. (5 males, ages 3–22; and 17 females, ages 1.5–19; 1 n/a)

Apparatus

Recordings were performed at the Children's Hospital Boston using the International 10-20 system of EEG electrode positions. Signals were sampled at 256 samples per second with 16-bit resolution.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 29,2025. Electroencephalogram (EEG) data recorded from invasive and scalp electrodes. The EEG database contains invasive EEG recordings of 21 patients suffering from medically intractable focal epilepsy. The data were recorded during an invasive pre-surgical epilepsy monitoring at the Epilepsy Center of the University Hospital of Freiburg, Germany. In eleven patients, the epileptic focus was located in neocortical brain structures, in eight patients in the hippocampus, and in two patients in both. In order to obtain a high signal-to-noise ratio, fewer artifacts, and to record directly from focal areas, intracranial grid-, strip-, and depth-electrodes were utilized. The EEG data were acquired using a Neurofile NT digital video EEG system with 128 channels, 256 Hz sampling rate, and a 16 bit analogue-to-digital converter. Notch or band pass filters have not been applied. For each of the patients, there are datasets called ictal and interictal, the former containing files with epileptic seizures and at least 50 min pre-ictal data. the latter containing approximately 24 hours of EEG-recordings without seizure activity. At least 24 h of continuous interictal recordings are available for 13 patients. For the remaining patients interictal invasive EEG data consisting of less than 24 h were joined together, to end up with at least 24 h per patient. An interdisciplinary project between: * Epilepsy Center, University Hospital Freiburg * Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN), Freiburg * Freiburg Center for Data Analysis and Modeling (FDM).

Data set from a large study to examine EEG correlates of genetic predisposition to alcoholism. It contains measurements from 64 electrodes placed on the scalp sampled at 256 Hz (3.9-msec epoch) for 1 second. There were two groups of subjects: alcoholic and control. Each subject was exposed to either a single stimulus (S1) or to two stimuli (S1 and S2) which were pictures of objects chosen from the 1980 Snodgrass and Vanderwart picture set. When two stimuli were shown, they were presented in either a matched condition where S1 was identical to S2 or in a non-matched condition where S1 differed from S2. There were 122 subjects and each subject completed 120 trials where different stimuli were shown. The electrode positions were located at standard sites (Standard Electrode Position Nomenclature, American Electroencephalographic Association 1990). Zhang et al. (1995) describes in detail the data collection process. There are three versions of the EEG data set. * The Small Data Set (smni97_eeg_data.tar.gz) contains data for the 2 subjects, alcoholic a_co2a0000364 and control c_co2c0000337. For each of the 3 matching paradigms, c_1 (one presentation only), c_m (match to previous presentation) and c_n (no-match to previous presentation), 10 runs are shown. * The Large Data Set (SMNI_CMI_TRAIN.tar.gz and SMNI_CMI_TEST.tar.gz) contains data for 10 alcoholic and 10 control subjects, with 10 runs per subject per paradigm. The test data used the same 10 alcoholic and 10 control subjects as with the training data, but with 10 out-of-sample runs per subject per paradigm. * The Full Data Set contains all 120 trials for 122 subjects. The entire set of data is about 700 MBytes.

This database includes the de-identified EEG data from 37 healthy individuals who participated in a brain-computer interface (BCI) study. All but one subject underwent 2 sessions of BCI experiments that involved controlling a computer cursor to move in one-dimensional space using their “intent”. EEG data were recorded with 62 electrodes. In addition to the EEG data, behavioral data including the online success rate and results of BCI cursor control are also included. This dataset was collected under support from the National Institutes of Health via grant AT009263 to Dr. Bin He. Correspondence about the dataset: Dr. Bin He, Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. E-mail: bhe1@andrew.cmu.edu This dataset has been used and analyzed to study the immediate effect of short meditation on BCI performance. The results are reported in: Kim et al, “Immediate effects of short-term meditation on sensorimotor rhythm-based brain–computer interface performance,” Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 (https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2022.1019279).

Artificial intelligence (AI) based automated epilepsy diagnosis has aimed to ease the burden of manual detection, prediction, and management of seizure and epilepsy-specific EEG signals for medical specialists. With increasing open-source, raw, and large EEG datasets, there is a need for data standardization of patient and seizure-sensitive AI analysis with reduced redundant information. This work releases a balanced, annotated, fixed time and length meta-data of CHB-MIT Scalp EEG database v1.0.0.0.

The work releases patient-specific (inter and intra) and patient non-specific EEG data extracted using specific time stamps of ictal, pre-ictal, post-ictal, peri-ictal, and non-seizure EEG provided in the original dataset (annotations). Further details of this metadata can be found in the provided csv file (CHB-MIT DB timestamp.csv). The released EEG data is available in csv format and class labels are provided in the last row of the csv files. Data of ch06, ch12, ch23, and ch24 in patient-specific and chb24_11 in patient non-specific have not been included. The importance of peri-ictal EEGs has been elucidated in Handa, P., & Goel, N. (2021). Peri‐ictal and non‐seizure EEG event detection using generated metadata. Expert Systems, e12929.

This data set consists of electroencephalography (EEG) data from 50 (Subject1 – Subject50) participants with acute ischemic stroke aged between 30 and 77 years. The participants included 39 male and 11 female. The time after stroke ranged from 1 days to 30 days. 22 participants had right hemisphere hemiplegia and 28 participants had left hemisphere hemiplegia. All participants were originally right-handed. Each of the participants sat in front of a computer screen with an arm resting on a pillow on their lap or on a table and they carried out the instructions given on the computer screen. At the trial start, a picture with text description which was circulated with left right hand, were presented for 2s. We asked the participants to focus their mind on the hand motor imagery which was instructed, at the same time, the video of ipsilateral hand movement is displayed on the computer screen and lasts for 4s. Next, take a 2s break.

These files contain the raw data and processing parameters to go with the paper "Hierarchical structure guides rapid linguistic predictions during naturalistic listening" by Jonathan R. Brennan and John T. Hale. These files include the stimulus (wav files), raw data (matlab format for the Fieldtrip toolbox), data processing paramters (matlab), and variables used to align the stimuli with the EEG data and for the statistical analyses reported in the paper.

The dataset comprised 14 patients with paranoid schizophrenia and 14 healthy controls. Data were acquired with the sampling frequency of 250 Hz using the standard 10-20 EEG montage with 19 EEG channels: Fp1, Fp2, F7, F3, Fz, F4, F8, T3, C3, Cz, C4, T4, T5, P3, Pz, P4, T6, O1, O2. The reference electrode was placed between electrodes Fz and Cz.

A resource for assessing dynamic binary choices in the adult brain using EEG and mouse-tracking

Description

This dataset was collected in 2020, which combines high-density Electroencephalography (HD-EEG, 128 channels) and mouse-tracking intended as a resource for examining the dynamic decision process of semantics and preference choices in the human brain. The dataset includes high-density resting-state and task-related (food preference choices and semantic judgments) EEG acquired from 31 individuals (ages: 18-33).

EEG acquisition

The EEG data were acquired using a 128-channel cap based on the standard 10/20 System with Electrical Geodesics Inc (EGI, Eugene, Oregon) system. During recording, sampling rate was 1000Hz, and the E129 (Cz) electrode was used as reference. Electrode impedances were kept below 50kohm for each electrode during the experiment.

The FEIS dataset comprises Emotiv EPOC+ [1] EEG recordings of:

* 21 participants listening to, imagining speaking, and then actually speaking
 16 English phonemes (see supplementary, below)

* 2 participants listening to, imagining speaking, and then actually speaking
 16 Chinese syllables (see supplementary, below)

For replicability and for the benefit of further research, this dataset
includes the complete experiment set-up, including participants' recorded
audio and 'flashcard' screens for audio-visual prompts, Lua script and .mxs
scenario for the OpenVibe [2] environment, as well as all Python scripts
for the preparation and processing of data as used in the supporting
studies (submitted in support of completion of the MSc Speech and Language
Processing with the University of Edinburgh):

* S. Wellington, "An investigation into the possibilities and limitations
 of decoding heard, imagined and spoken phonemes using a low-density,
 mobile EEG headset," M.Sc. dissertation, University of Edinburgh,

Each participant's data comprise 5 .csv files -- these are the 'raw'
(unprocessed) EEG recordings for the 'stimuli', 'articulators' (see
supplementary, below) 'thinking', 'speaking' and 'resting' phases per epoch
for each trial -- alongside a 'full' .csv file with the end-to-end
experiment recording (for the benefit of calculating deltas).

To guard against software deprecation or inaccessability, the full repository
of open-source software used in the above studies is also included.

We hope for the FEIS dataset to be of some utility for future researchers,
due to the sparsity of similar open-access databases. As such, this dataset
is made freely available for all academic and research purposes (non-profit).
