Physiological signals during activities for daily life: Dataset

The dataset used in this work is composed by four participants, two men and two women. Each of them carried the wearable device Empatica E4 for a total number of 15 days. They carried the wearable during the day, and during the nights we asked participants to charge and load the data into an external memory unit. During these days, participants were asked to answer EMA questionnaires which are used to label our data. However, some participants could not complete the full experiment or some days were discarded due to data corruption. Specific demographic information, total sampling days and total number of EMA answers can be found in table I.

This dataset provides three different type of labels. Activeness and happiness are two of these labels. These are the answers to EMA questionnaires that participants reported during their daily activities. These labels are numbers between 0 and 4.
These labels are used to interpolate the mental well-being state according to [1] We report in our dataset a total number of eight emotional states: (1) pleasure, (2) excitement, (3) arousal, (4) distress, (5) misery, (6) depression, (7) sleepiness, and (8) contentment.

The data we provide in this repository consist of two type of files:

CSV files: These files contain physiological signals recorded during the data collection process. The first line of each CSV file defines the timestamp by which data started being sampled. The second line defines the sampling frequency used for gathering the signal. From the third line until the end of the file, one can find sampled datapoints. 

Excel files: These files contain the labels obtained from EMA answers. It is indicated the timestamp at which the answer was registered. Labels for pleasure, activeness and mood can be found in this file. 

NOTE: Files are numbered according to each specific sampling day. For example, ACC1.csv corresponds to the signal ACC for sampling day 1. The same applied to excel files.
