An EEG dataset with carbon wire loops in cognitive tasks and resting state inside and outside MR scanners

Year: 2026

Type: data-paper

Abstract: We present a new dataset consisting of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) collected from 39 healthy adults in their twenties to forties while performing cognitive tasks (visual oddball and N-back tasks) in addition to resting state. These tasks took place both inside and outside an MR scanner (i.e., simultaneous EEG-fMRI and EEG-only, respectively), enabling direct comparisons across the different recording environments. Moreover, a subset of the participants was in two different MRI scanners, allowing for traveling-subject analyses. In both scanners, we used EEG caps equipped with carbon wire loops to measure motion and ballistocardiogram artifacts for their subsequent removal from raw EEG signals, resulting in a dataset of superior quality compared to previous studies. All the raw data are publicly available for facilitating multimodal neuroimaging research.
