This repository includes the preprocessed EEG data for the project described in the manuscript "Decoding the content of working memory in school-aged children" by Nora Turoman, Prosper Agbesi Fiave, Clélia Zahnd, Megan T. deBettencourt and Evie Vergauwe The repository includes 20 files, which are named per the following convention: testing date (yyyymmdd) _ internal project code (i.e., 137) _ random participant number _ order of preprocessing steps (i.e., downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved) Thus, the repository contains the following files: 20211027_137_5754_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20211027_137_5804_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20211110_137_6417_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20211111_137_4179_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20211111_137_9765_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20211119_137_6836_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20211124_137_9998_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20211126_137_6200_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20211203_137_8493_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20211216_137_6444_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20220209_137_3392_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20220211_137_4271_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20220219_137_7732_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20220310_137_4360_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20220331_137_4759_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20220407_137_9159_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20220414_137_4080_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20220427_137_1383_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20220427_137_7963_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set 20220504_137_7325_downsampled_aref_1-40bandpass_interpolated_epochs_badepochsrejected_ICA_badcomprejected_BC_EOGremoved.set The order of preprocessing steps in the name denotes the following series of steps performed on the data: 1. downsampling 2. re-referencing to the average reference 3. bandpass filtering between 1Hz and 40Hz 4. interpolating bad channels 5. splitting the recording into epochs 6. rejecting bad epochs 7. performing ICA and rejecting bad components 8. performing baseline correction 9. removing EOG channels from the data Each file includes EEG volage data in a grid of 64 electrodes as rows and 1650 timepoints as columns, split into epochs (exact number varies per subject). The file is in a .bdf format that can be opened using EEGLAB, a Matlab-based software (see here: https://eeglab.org/).
