Source and documentation

• Original dataset: PhysioNet EEGMMIDB v1.0.0
• Source version: 1.0.0, published September 9, 2009

Dataset summary

The dataset contains 64-channel scalp EEG recordings from 109 participants, sampled at 160 Hz with electrodes placed according to the international 10-10 system. Each participant completed 14 experimental runs:

Runs	Duration	Task
1	1 minute	Baseline, eyes open
2	1 minute	Baseline, eyes closed
3, 7, 11	2 minutes	Execute left- or right-fist movement
4, 8, 12	2 minutes	Imagine left- or right-fist movement
5, 9, 13	2 minutes	Execute both-fists or both-feet movement
6, 10, 14	2 minutes	Imagine both-fists or both-feet movement

Each subject directory (S001 through S109) contains 14 EDF+ recordings and 14 corresponding .event annotation files. The EDF+ annotation channel and the matching .event file encode the same events. T0 means rest; T1 means left fist in unilateral runs and both fists in bilateral runs; T2 means right fist in unilateral runs and both feet in bilateral runs.

The top level also includes the original RECORDS, ANNOTATORS, wfdbcal, electrode-montage files, and PhysioNet SHA-256 manifest.
