Event-related potential data from a guess the number brain-computer interface experiment on school children

Abstract

Guess the number is a simple P300-based brain-computer interface experiment. Its aim is to ask the measured participant to pick a number between 1 and 9. Then, he or she is exposed to corresponding visual stimuli and experimenters try to guess the number thought while they are observing event-related potential waveforms on-line. 250 school-age children participated in the experiments that were carried out in elementary and secondary schools in the Czech Republic. Electroencephalographic data from three EEG channels (Fz, Cz, Pz) and stimuli markers were stored. Additional metadata about the participants were collected (gender, age, laterality, the number thought by the participant, the guess of the experimenters, and various interesting additional information). Consequently, we offer the largest publicly available odd-ball paradigm collection of datasets to neuroscientific and brain-computer interface community.

Evaluation of convolutional neural networks using a large multi-subject P300 dataset

“…The data described in detail and accessible in [19] were used in subsequent experiments. The measurements were taken between 8 am and 3 pm.…”

“…Nevertheless, to the author's best knowledge, this is the largest P300 BCI dataset available so far. [19] The main aim of this paper is to evaluate one of the deep learning models, convolutional neural networks (CNN) for classification of P300 BCI data. Unlike most related studies, multi-subject classification was performed with the future goal of developing a universal BCI.…”

Brain-Computer Interface for children: state-of-the-art and challenges

“…The first is because the possible side effects of sustained BCI in children are still unknown [22] and they have to be considered before implementing in clinical settings. For instance, in some studies, the involved children had visual annoyance, user's fatigue, nausea and headache [24], [37] especially when they are below 8 years old [34] and they have been stimulated through evoked BCIs such as SSVEP. The second is because the children can quickly drop their motivation and attention [39] to carry on the experiment.…”

“…2-D). In the first case, typically the child has to select a class such as a number [24], [27], a letter to spell words [25], [34] or a shape [38], [39] on the screen.…”

Full body mobile brain-body imaging data during unconstrained locomotion on stairs, ramps, and level ground

“…Previous datasets have been published with EEG data during seated cognitive tasks 29 , 30 , during a stimulus-viewing task after transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) 31 , and during perceptual tasks during simultaneous EEG, fMRI, and MEG 32 . Luciw et al .…”
