EEG recordings during resting-state and the maintenance periods of a spatial working memory task in humans

Raw EEG recordings including: (1) resting-state brain activity (three one minute baseline recordings, alternating eyes-closed and eyes-open for one minute each), (2) brain activity during the maintenance period of an allocentric spatial working memory tasks (ten successive one minute recordings with the eyes open) while the subject is counting backward, (3) resting-state brain activity (three one minute baseline recordings, alternating eyes-closed and eyes-open for one minute each) following the memory task. Data were down-sampled offline to 512 Hz using the Biosemi decimator tool and exported from BrainAnalyzer after renaming the markers. No other changes applied. BrainAnalyzer generates three files for each subject, needed to open the data in BA, EEGlab… A text header file (.vhdr) containing meta data, a text marker file (.vmrk) containing information about events in the data and a binary data file (.eeg) containing the voltage values of the EEG. 20-30-year-old and 65-75-year-old healthy humans.
