Multi-channel EEG recording during motor imagery of different joints from the same limb

Abstract

Motor imagery (MI) is one of the important brain-computer interface (BCI) paradigms, which can be used to control peripherals without external stimulus. Imagining the movements of different joints of the same limb allows intuitive control of the outer devices. In this report, we describe an open access multi-subject dataset for MI of different joints from the same limb. This experiment collected data from twenty-five healthy subjects on three tasks: 1) imagining the movement of right hand, 2) imagining the movement of right elbow, and 3) keeping resting with eyes open, which results in a total of 22,500 trials. The dataset provided includes data of three stages: 1) raw recorded data, 2) pre-processed data after operations such as artifact removal, and 3) trial data that can be directly used for feature extraction and classification. Different researchers can reuse the dataset according to their needs. We expect that this dataset will facilitate the analysis of brain activation patterns of the same limb and the study of decoding techniques for MI.
