SAAD: A stimulus-driven auditory attention dichotic EEG dataset with behavioral and subjective ratings

SAAD (Stimulus-driven Auditory Attention Dichotic) is an EEG dataset from 23 healthy adults performing a dichotic auditory attention task. Each participant completed three sessions (160 trials per session; 480 trials total). Participants indicated which ear carried the attended sound (left/right) via button press. The archive contains:- raw_eeg/: session-level EGI .mff recordings (128-channel, 250 Hz)- processed/: trial-locked preprocessed EEG epochs (480 × 128 × 1500 per participant; 6 s at 250 Hz; stimulus onset at 0 s), trial labels, reaction times, and metadata- stimuli/: single-ear wav clips by category, dichotic pair wav files (480), and trial_stimulus_index.tsv- ratings/: post-experiment familiarity, urgency, and liking ratings (0–4) for eight representative sound subcategories per participant Preprocessing and packaging code: https://github.com/yanruofan628/saad-preprocessing If you use this dataset, please cite this Zenodo record and the accompanying Scientific Data manuscript (when available).
