  • 1. Zhejiang University
  • 2. Zhejiang Lab

Description

Re-hosted EEG data from Zhou et al. (2021), originally deposited on IEEE DataPort (DOI: 10.21227/f1c7-7x89) under a CC BY 4.0 license. The original multi-subject ZIP archives have been split into per-subject ZIPs with a clean session/run directory structure.

Paradigm

TaskMotor imagery, 4 classes: left hand, right hand, both feet, idle
Trials40 per run (10 per class), 6 runs per session
Timing3 s rest → 1 s arrow cue → 5 s MI → rest
EventsGDF codes in MarkOnSignal: 769=left, 770=right, 771=feet, 780=idle; 786=cue, 800=trial end
FeedbackNone (offline)
