Neural Activity in Claustrophobic patients under in-vivo stimuli: A Human Electroencephalography (EEG) Dataset

The electrocortical activity in claustrophobic situations has not been previously evaluated. This article represents a set of electroencephalographic (EEG) data obtained from twenty-two participants. The volunteers include 9 participants with claustrophobia disorder and 13 healthy controls under in-vivo stimuli. The EEG data were recorded using the Mitsar 31-channel EEG system. Before cortical signal recording, Individuals were asked to identify themselves as healthy control or claustrophobic participants. The EEG data collection process consisted of three parts. In all parts, the participants were asked to stay calm and keep their eyes open. The first part was at a seated resting state in a relatively large and well-lit laboratory (8m x 15m) area. In the second part, the subjects entered a moderately-lit chamber and repeated the previous resting situation. The final part of the EEG data acquisition was performed in the same chamber but with reduced dimensions. The data length was 280 seconds. This data can be used to understand the brain's response in claustrophobic situations through various statistical or data-driven methods.
