The use of modern Mobile Brain-Body imaging techniques, combined with hyperscanning (simultaneous and synchronous recording of brain activity of multiple participants) has allowed researchers to explore a broad range of different types of social interactions from the neuroengineering perspective. In specific, this approach allows to study such type of interactions under an ecologically valid approach. Among them, the study of collaborative, improvised musical creation offers an interesting window to understand the dynamics of shared cognitive processes for a specific goal, and can provide insight on behaviors such as anticipation, competition/collaboration, as well as brain-to-brain communication. In this database, electroencephalography (EEG) data is provided from three male professional musicians who performed a collaborative, improvised jazz performance for three 15-minute trials, in front of a live-audience. In each trial, one single musician started performing for five minutes, when a second musician joined; and after five minutes of this two-musician improvisation, the third musician joined the improvisation. The order in which the joined the performance was different at each trial. The database contains EEG data from 64 electrodes (from each musician), four of them are electrooculography (EOG), impedance values before and after the complete performance, sound and video recordings from all performances, as well as annotations to synchronize sound/video and EEG data.
