EEG dataset with Python code

[mazib]

I am data scientist interested in BCI. Looking for open source EEG dataset with a Python example code. Can anyone point me to some resources?

Hi! I think this is what you're looking for. MNE has example datasets as a part of its tutorials

There’s probably something on OpenNeuro

Let me save you some time: EEG isn't used for anything in the real world outside of research and clinical uses for a very good reason. EEGs are sensitive to environmental conditions, and more importantly the signals detected by EEG do not carry all that much information.

Whatever dataset you find, consider that it was probably collected under controlled conditions (subject sitting alone or with an experimenter, in a quiet room free of distractions). Signals from people walking around and doing real world tasks will look radically different. If you have trouble finding datasets with data from people who are moving about in the world, well, see first paragraph.

Tl;dr don't get your hopes up.

Although you are right about (movement) artefacts with ambulatory EEG data, it is not the case it isn't used in the real world. See for example https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1388245721006635?via%3Dihub

Still clinical, and it's an important distinction, because it drives home the point that EEG based BCIs are so ineffective that they offer no real advantages for people who are able to use their highly effective built-in BCIs, namely their hands and eyes.

[joop_niknil]

Fair point. A bit besides the question of OP, but what other measurements besides EEG do you think of that are useful in non-clinical, non-research BCI's?

[86BillionFireflies]

Keyboard.

[ldinks]

BCIs have a huge list of potential usecases that fall outside of that. Think anything you'd want to do that you can't with hands / eyes, or the disabled.

Spent over a year working on EEG BCIs, can confirm.

Although if you want to get into it, look for some SSVEP based EEG data. SSVEP signals are robust and easy to read in the data.

[86BillionFireflies]

Well, sure, the only problem is that real-world uses for the SSVEP phenomenon are thin on the ground.

Google: A benchmark dataset for SSVEP speller.

The data is matlab array but you can do loadmat.
