EEGLAB Tutorial Sample Data - Michał K.

Description

This preprocessed EEG dataset is extracted from tutorial available here:
ftp://sccn.ucsd.edu/pub/PDF_EEGLAB_Wiki_Tutorial.pdf

Dataset for this tutorial is available here:

Resulting ERP waves are shown on pages 28-30 (3D scalp not available).

The data which you are interested in to plot is in EEG.data member. Dimensions are channels(32) x samples(384) x trials (80). So we have 80 realizations of some random process (brain reaction for target visual stimulus) recorded at 32 different scalp locations.

EEG.times contains a time vector common for all trials. Zero is the time instant of presenting stimulus.

EEG.comments contains some info about experiment itself:

"During this selective visual attention experiment, stimuli appeared briefly in any of five squares arrayed horizontally above a central fixation cross. In each experimental block, one (target) box was differently colored from the rest Whenever a square appeared in the target box the subject was asked to respond quickly with a right thumb button press. If the stimulus was a circular disk, he was asked to ignore it. (Reference: Makeig et al.. J. Neurosci. 19:2665-80, 1999)

These data were constructed by concatenating three-second epochs from one subject, each containing a target square in the attended location ('square' events, left-hemifield locations 1 or 2 only) followed by a button response ('rt' events). The data were stored in continuous data format to illustrate the process of epoch extraction from continuous data."
