EEG Dataset for 'Immediate effects of short-term meditation on sensorimotor rhythm-based brain–computer interface performance'

This database includes the de-identified EEG data from 37 healthy individuals who participated in a brain-computer interface (BCI) study. All but one subject underwent 2 sessions of BCI experiments that involved controlling a computer cursor to move in one-dimensional space using their “intent”. EEG data were recorded with 62 electrodes. In addition to the EEG data, behavioral data including the online success rate and results of BCI cursor control are also included.

This dataset was collected under support from the National Institutes of Health via grant AT009263 to Dr. Bin He. Correspondence about the dataset: Dr. Bin He, Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. E-mail: [e-mail]

This dataset has been used and analyzed to study the immediate effect of short meditation on BCI performance. The results are reported in: Kim et al, “Immediate effects of short-term meditation on sensorimotor rhythm-based brain–computer interface performance,” Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 (https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2022.1019279).
