Data for "Assessing cognitive styles through EEG-based bistable perception processing"

This is the raw data collected for an ERP study on field
dependence-independence. Field dependence-independence (FD-I) is a widely
studied dimension of cognitive styles designed to measure an individual’s
ability to identify embedded parts of an organized visual field as entities
separated from that given field. The aim of the research is to determine
whether the brain activity features that have been found to be perceptual
switching indicators could serve as robust features, differentiating
field-dependent from field-independent participants. Previous research suggests
that various event related potential (ERP)-related and frequency features are
associated with the perceptual reversal occurring during the observation of
a bistable image. In this study we combined these features in the context of
a different experimental scheme using ambiguous and unambiguous stimuli during
participants’ perceptual observations.
