Functional near-infrared spectroscopy visually evoked measurements and Autism Questionnaire score in adults and children

<strong>Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) visually-evoked data collected from healthy adults and children. We recruited a total of 40 adult participants (20 women, age: 31.05 ± 3.94 (SD) years) and 19 children (5 girls, age: 7.20 ± 3.01 (SD) years). Adult participants filled in the Autistic-traits Quotient (AQ) questionnaire, a 50-items self-administered report validated for the Italian version. The items consist of descriptive statements assessing personal preferences and typical behavior. Since child self-report might be affected by reading and comprehension difficulties, the children's version of Autism Spectrum Quotient (Italian version of AQ-child) was completed by parents. To measure changes in total Hb (THb) concentration and relative oxygenation levels (OHb and DHb) in the occipital cortex during the task, we used a continuous-wave NIRS system with 8 red light-sources operating at 760 nm and 850 nm, and 7 detectors, forming an array of 22 multi-distant channels. </strong> <strong>The dataset includes 2 '.zip' files containing artifact-free visually-evoked transients HDF data, exported from Homer 3 (https://github.com/BUNPC/Homer3) in '.txt' format. Subfolders correspond to different stimulation conditions, for details refer to this paper [preprint coming soon].</strong> <strong>Each txt file is named with the corresponding subject code and contains two events [tagged as 1 (baseline) and 2 (stimulus)]. </strong> <strong>The file 'annotations.csv' contains the following fields:</strong> <strong>Code [Subjects id name, that corresponds to the filename in the recording folders]</strong> <strong>Sex [M or F]</strong> <strong>Valid [1 or 0, 0 means excluded subject]</strong> <strong>Age [int]</strong> <strong>CH_exclude [list of excluded channels]</strong> <strong>CH_Red [ list of channels that did not passed the calibration step]</strong> <strong>Category [adult or child] </strong> <strong>Cartoon_fixed [cartoon name]</strong> <strong>Cartoon_chosen [cartoon name]</strong> <strong>AQ [global AQ score] </strong> <strong>AQ_S [ AQ subscale social ] </strong> <strong>AQ_C [ AQ subscale communication ] </strong> <strong>AQ_A [ AQ subscale attention] </strong> <strong>AQ_D [ AQ subscale detail] </strong> <strong>AQ_I [ AQ subscale imagination] </strong><br>本数据集采集自健康成人与儿童的功能性近红外光谱（functional near-infrared spectroscopy, fNIRS）视觉诱发数据。本研究共招募40名成人参与者（20名女性，年龄31.05±3.94岁，标准差SD）与19名儿童参与者（5名女孩，年龄7.20±3.01岁，标准差SD）。成人受试者填写了意大利版经过验证的50项自评自闭症谱系智商（Autistic-traits Quotient, AQ）问卷，问卷条目为描述个人偏好与典型行为的陈述性内容。鉴于儿童自评可能受阅读与理解能力限制，儿童版自闭症谱系智商问卷（意大利版AQ-child）由家长代为完成。 为测量任务期间枕叶皮层总血红蛋白（total Hb, THb）浓度与相对氧合水平（氧合血红蛋白OHb、去氧血红蛋白DHb）的变化，本研究使用了一套连续波近红外光谱系统，该系统配备8个分别工作于760nm与850nm的红光光源，以及7个探测器，共同组成包含22个多距离通道的阵列。 本数据集包含2个.zip压缩文件，内含无人工伪影的视觉诱发瞬态HDF数据，这些数据已从Homer 3（https://github.com/BUNPC/Homer3）导出为.txt格式。子文件夹对应不同的刺激条件，详细信息请参阅该预印本论文（即将上线）。 每个txt文件以对应受试者编号命名，文件内含两个事件，分别标记为1（基线条件）与2（刺激条件）。 文件annotations.csv包含以下字段： - Code：受试者编号名称，与记录文件夹内的文件名一一对应 - Sex：性别（标记为M或F） - Valid：有效性标记（1为有效，0代表该受试者被排除） - Age：受试者年龄（整数） - CH_exclude：被排除的通道列表 - CH_Red：未通过校准步骤的通道列表 - Category：受试者类别（成人或儿童） - Cartoon_fixed：固定播放的动画名称 - Cartoon_chosen：自主选择的动画名称 - AQ：自闭症谱系智商总分 - AQ_S：自闭症谱系智商社交分量表得分 - AQ_C：自闭症谱系智商沟通分量表得分 - AQ_A：自闭症谱系智商注意力分量表得分 - AQ_D：自闭症谱系智商细节关注分量表得分 - AQ_I：自闭症谱系智商想象力分量表得分
