EEG Dataset for 'Cortical Tracking of Surprisal during Continuous Speech Comprehension'

The repository contains the unprocessed EEG data recorded for the publication [1]. For convenience, the onsets of the EEG data provided here are time-aligned with the onsets of the audio books in the 'audiobooks' folder, and the EEG data are provided in HDF5 format. Please refer to the original version of this dataset for more details.

A script is provided which shows how the original data were aligned ('align_data.py') in Python. The order in which the audiobook chapters were presented was different for different participants. If this is important to you, the details are available in 'stimulus_orders.csv'.

More details, as well as the original data files, are available at the original version of this repository here.

Examples for using this data (preprocessing, fitting linear models) can be found here.

If you use this data, please cite the original publication, as well as this repository [1,2].
