This dataset investigates whether attempted arm and hand movements in persons with spinal cord injury can be decoded from low-frequency EEG signals (MRCPs). The study includes offline 5-class classification and online proof-of-concept for self-paced movement detection.

Preprocessing
Data state: raw (GDF format)
Bandpass filter: 0.01-100 Hz
Steps: bandpass filter, notch filter, ICA, artifact rejection
Re-reference: CAR
Notes: Noisy channels were visually inspected and removed. AFz was removed by default as it is sensitive to eye blinks and eye movements. ICA was performed on 0.3-70 Hz filtered signals using extended infomax. PCA dimensionality reduction retained 99% variance. Artifact-contaminated ICs (muscle and eye-related) were removed. Trials with values above/below Β±100 ΞΌV, abnormal joint probabilities, or abnormal kurtosis (5x SD threshold) were rejected. Final analysis used 0.3-3 Hz bandpass filter.

Notes
Added in version 1.2.0.
- __init__(subjects=None, sessions=None, *, return_all_modalities=False)[source]#
Initialize function for the BaseDataset.
- property all_subjects#
Full list of subjects available in this dataset (unfiltered).
- convert_to_bids(path=None, subjects=None, overwrite=False, format='EDF', verbose=None, generate_figures=False)[source]#
Convert the dataset to BIDS format.
Saves the raw EEG data in a BIDS-compliant directory structure. Unlike the caching mechanism (see
CacheConfig), the files produced here do not contain a processing-pipeline hash (desc-<hash>) in their names, making the output a clean, shareable BIDS dataset.- Parameters:
path (str |
Path| None) β Directory under which the BIDS dataset will be written. IfNonethe default MNE data directory is used (same default as the rest of MOABB).subjects (list of int | None) β Subject numbers to convert. If
None, all subjects insubject_listare converted.overwrite (bool) β If
True, existing BIDS files for a subject are removed before saving. Default isFalse.format (str) β The file format for the raw EEG data. Supported values are
"EDF"(default),"BrainVision", and"EEGLAB".verbose (str | None) β Verbosity level forwarded to MNE/MNE-BIDS.
generate_figures (bool) β If
True, generate interactive neural signature HTML figures in{bids_root}/derivatives/neural_signatures/. Requiresplotly(pip install moabb[interactive]). Default isFalse.
- Returns:
bids_root β Path to the root of the written BIDS dataset.
- Return type:
Examples
>>> from moabb.datasets import AlexMI >>> dataset = AlexMI() >>> bids_root = dataset.convert_to_bids(path='/tmp/bids', subjects=[1])
Notes
Use
CacheConfigto configure caching forget_data(). Usemoabb.datasets.bids_interface.get_bids_rootto get the BIDS root path.Added in version 1.5.
- data_path(subject, path=None, force_update=False, update_path=None, verbose=None)[source]#
Return paths to data files for a given subject.
- download(subject_list=None, path=None, force_update=False, update_path=None, accept=False, verbose=None)[source]#
Download all data from the dataset.
This function is only useful to download all the dataset at once.
- Parameters:
subject_list (list of int | None) β List of subjects id to download, if None all subjects are downloaded.
path (None | str) β Location of where to look for the data storing location. If None, the environment variable or config parameter
MNE_DATASETS_(dataset)_PATHis used. If it doesnβt exist, the β~/mne_dataβ directory is used. If the dataset is not found under the given path, the data will be automatically downloaded to the specified folder.force_update (bool) β Force update of the dataset even if a local copy exists.
update_path (bool | None) β If True, set the MNE_DATASETS_(dataset)_PATH in mne-python config to the given path. If None, the user is prompted.
accept (bool) β Accept licence term to download the data, if any. Default: False
verbose (bool, str, int, or None) β If not None, override default verbose level (see
mne.verbose()).
- get_additional_metadata(subject: str, session: str, run: str)[source]#
Load additional metadata for a specific subject, session, and run.
This method is intended to be overridden by subclasses to provide additional metadata specific to the dataset. The metadata is typically loaded from an events.tsv file or similar data source.
- Parameters:
- Returns:
A DataFrame containing the additional metadata if available, otherwise None.
- Return type:
None |
pandas.DataFrame
- get_block_repetition(paradigm, subjects, block_list, repetition_list)[source]#
Select data for all provided subjects, blocks and repetitions.
subject -> session -> run -> block -> repetition
See also
- get_data(subjects=None, cache_config=None, process_pipeline=None)[source]#
Return the data corresponding to a list of subjects.
The returned data is a dictionary with the following structure:
data = {'subject_id' : {'session_id': {'run_id': run} } }
subjects are on top, then we have sessions, then runs. A sessions is a recording done in a single day, without removing the EEG cap. A session is constitued of at least one run. A run is a single contiguous recording. Some dataset break session in multiple runs.
Processing steps can optionally be applied to the data using the
*_pipelinearguments. These pipelines are applied in the following order:raw_pipeline->epochs_pipeline->array_pipeline. If a*_pipelineargument isNone, the step will be skipped. Therefore, thearray_pipelinemay either receive amne.io.Rawor amne.Epochsobject as input depending on whetherepochs_pipelineisNoneor not.- Parameters:
subjects (List of int) β List of subject number
cache_config (dict |
CacheConfig) β Configuration for caching of datasets. SeeCacheConfigfor details.process_pipeline (
sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline| None) β Optional processing pipeline to apply to the data. To generate an adequate pipeline, we recommend usingmoabb.make_process_pipelines(). This pipeline will receivemne.io.BaseRawobjects. The steps names of this pipeline should be elements ofStepType. According to their name, the steps should either return amne.io.BaseRaw, amne.Epochs, or anumpy.ndarray. This pipeline must be βfixedβ because it will not be trained, i.e. no call tofitwill be made.
- Returns:
data β dict containing the raw data
- Return type:
Dict
- property metadata[source]#
Return structured metadata for this dataset.
Returns the DatasetMetadata object from the centralized catalog, or None if metadata is not available for this dataset.
- Returns:
The metadata object containing acquisition parameters, participant demographics, experiment details, and documentation. Returns None if no metadata is registered for this dataset.
- Return type:
DatasetMetadata| None
