GuttmannFlury2025 — Eye-BCI multimodal dataset: Motor Execution (re-hosted from Synapse, EEG converted to BDF)
Authors/Creators
- 1. Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Description
Re-hosted EEG multimodal data (Motor Execution) from Guttmann-Flury, Sheng & Zhu (2025), originally deposited on Synapse (DOI: 10.7303/syn64005218) under a CC0 public domain dedication. EEG data converted from Neuroscan CSV to BDF format for ~3x space reduction with negligible loss (max 0.006 μV error).

E. Guttmann-Flury, X. Sheng, and X. Zhu, “Dataset combining EEG, eye-tracking, and high-speed video for ocular activity analysis across BCI paradigms,” Scientific Data, 12, 587, 2025.
DOI: 10.1038/s41597-025-04861-9
Paradigm: Motor Execution
| Classes | 2 classes: left hand, right hand (grasping execution) |
| Trials | 40 trials/session (20 left + 20 right) |
| Timing | 2 s fixation + 4 s execution + 1-1.5 s rest |
| Duration | ~6-8 min per recording |
| Events | Trig code 1 = left hand, 2 = right hand |
Participants
- 31 healthy subjects (20 male, 11 female)
- Age: 20–57 years (mean 28.3)
- 25 right-handed, 2 left-handed, 4 ambidextrous
- 1–3 sessions per subject (63 sessions total)
Recording setup
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| System | Neuroscan Quik-Cap 65-ch + SynAmps2 |
| Channels | 62 EEG + 2 mastoid (M1/M2) + 1 EOG (HEO) + 1 STIM (Trig) = 66 |
| Sampling rate | 1000 Hz |
| Reference | Right mastoid (M1) |
| Line frequency | 50 Hz |
| File format | BDF (24-bit, converted from CSV) |
Multimodal data per recording
| File | Content |
|---|---|
MEXXX.bdf | EEG (66 channels, BDF) |
MEXXX_sync.csv | Metadata sidecar (timestamps, cues, video sync, blinks) |
MEXXX_annotations.json | Rich trial annotations with E-Prime timing metadata |
MEXXX_tobii.csv | Tobii eye-tracking gaze data |
MEXXX_phantom.avi | High-speed eye video (~500 fps) |
MEXXX_phantom.xml | Eye video annotations (pupil tracking) |
MEXXX_eprime.txt | E-Prime stimulus timing/cues |
File structure
31 per-subject ZIP files (S01.zip–S31.zip). Each contains 1–3 session folders:
S01.zip
Sess01/
ME011.bdf
ME011_sync.csv
ME011_tobii.csv
ME011_phantom.avi
ME011_phantom.xml
ME011_eprime.txt
...
S31.zip
Conversion details
- EEG: Neuroscan CSV → BDF (24-bit), ~3.2x compression
- Round-trip error: max 0.006 μV (0.000003% of signal range)
- Non-EEG CSV columns (timestamps, cues, video sync, blinks) preserved in
_sync.csvsidecar - Eye-tracking, video, E-Prime files: copied byte-for-byte (no conversion)
Reading the data
import mne
raw = mne.io.read_raw_bdf('ME011.bdf', preload=True)
print(raw.info) # 66 channels, 1000 Hz
