Abstract
The EEG data were acquired from 16 healthy young adults (age range 22 - 30 years) with no neurological, physical, or psychiatric illness history. All the participants were naive BCI users who had not participated in any related experiments before. Informed consent was received from all participants.
Scalp EEG was recorded using 16-channel, active Ag/AgCl electrodes (g.USBamp, g.LADYbird, Guger Technologies OG, Schiedlberg, Austria) with a sampling frequency = 256 Hz. EEG electrodes were positioned according to the International 10-20 system. The right earlobe of participants was used for a ground electrode, whereas the FCz location was used for a reference electrode.
The total number of target letters that a participant had to attend was equal to five. These targets were presented in five consequent sequences with an inter-sequence duration (ISD) of two seconds. In total, five repetitions of each target character were made where one repetition (or trial) consisted of a complete set of 12 random flashes of every row and column (six rows and six columns). The inter-stimulus interval (ISI) was set to 150 ms; likewise, the stimulus duration was 100 ms (i.e., the time length a row/col is highlighted). The minimum time between the same target letter highlights was set to 600 ms, also denoted as a target-to-target (TTI) interval. The stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) was set to 250 ms. The SOA is the period between starting one stimulus event and the beginning of the next event.

Data is converted to MNE python data structure, in a python list.
First, install MNE library via "pip install mne"

Further info:
==============================
trial duration = 600 milliseconds
sampling frequency = 128 Hz
16 channels
The following pre-processing steps have been done:
1) Detrending
2) Remove bad channels
3) Common-Average Referencing
4) Remove bad epochs
5) Bandpass filtering in the range of [0. 15];

Comments
The dataset is useful.
Thank you. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for the data! I find them really useful, but I think they could be even be more useful if it were possible to:
1) Know the row and columns that were made flash, and not just have Target and NonTargets infos
2) Have the data WITOUTH Common Average Reference and filtering
3) Have the continuous data (not just the epochs)
4) Know the right sequence of Target and NonTarget (and not just have all the targets at the beginning and all the nontargets at the end)
Thank you in advance,
Luigi Bianchi
Can you please tell me that is subject-1 belongs to the HI list data or ALS ?
