BMI/OpenBMI dataset for SSVEP.
Dataset from Lee et al 2019 [1].
Dataset Description
EEG signals were recorded with a sampling rate of 1,000 Hz and collected with 62 Ag/AgCl electrodes. The EEG amplifier used in the experiment was a BrainAmp (Brain Products; Munich, Germany). The channels were nasion-referenced and grounded to electrode AFz. Additionally, an EMG electrode recorded from each flexor digitorum profundus muscle with the olecranon used as reference. The EEG/EMG channel configuration and indexing numbers are described in Fig. 1. The impedances of the EEG electrodes were maintained below 10 k during the entire experiment.
SSVEP paradigm Four target SSVEP stimuli were designed to flicker at 5.45, 6.67, 8.57, and 12 Hz and were presented in four positions (down, right, left, and up, respectively) on a monitor. The designed paradigm followed the conventional types of SSVEP-based BCI systems that require four-direction movements. Partici- pants were asked to fixate the center of a black screen and then to gaze in the direction where the target stimulus was high- lighted in a different color. Each SSVEP stimulus was presented for 4 s with an ISI of 6 s. Each target frequency was presented 25 times. Therefore, the corrected EEG data had 100 trials (4 classes x 25 trials) in the offline training phase and another 100 trials in the online test phase. Visual feedback was presented in the test phase; the estimated target frequency was highlighted for 1 s with a red border at the end of each trial.
- param train_run:
if True, return runs corresponding to the training/offline phase (see paper).
- type train_run:
bool (default True)
- param test_run:
if True, return runs corresponding to the test/online phase (see paper). Beware that test_run for MI and SSVEP do not have labels associated with trials: these runs could not be used in classification tasks.
- type test_run:
bool (default: False for MI and SSVEP paradigms, True for ERP)
- param resting_state:
if True, return runs corresponding to the resting phases before and after recordings (see paper).
- type resting_state:
bool (default False)
- param sessions:
the list of the sessions to load (2 available).
- type sessions:
list of int (default [1,2])

- __init__(train_run=True, test_run=None, resting_state=False, sessions=None, subjects=None, *, return_all_modalities=False, **kwargs)[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]#
Get path to local copy of a subject data.
- Parameters:
subject (int) β Number of subject to use
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 Deprecated) β If True, set the MNE_DATASETS_(dataset)_PATH in mne-python config to the given path. If None, the user is prompted.
verbose (bool, str, int, or None) β If not None, override default verbose level (see
mne.verbose()).
- Returns:
path β Local path to the given data file. This path is contained inside a list of length one, for compatibility.
- Return type:
- 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.
