BMI/OpenBMI dataset for MI.

Dataset from Lee et al 2019 [1].

Dataset Description

EEG signals were recorded with a sampling rate of 1,000 Hz and collected with 62 Ag/AgCl electrodes. The EEG amplifier used in the experiment was a BrainAmp (Brain Products; Munich, Germany). The channels were nasion-referenced and grounded to electrode AFz. Additionally, an EMG electrode recorded from each flexor digitorum profundus muscle with the olecranon used as reference. The EEG/EMG channel configuration and indexing numbers are described in Fig. 1. The impedances of the EEG electrodes were maintained below 10 k during the entire experiment.

MI paradigm The MI paradigm was designed following a well-established system protocol. For all blocks, the first 3 s of each trial began with a black fixation cross that appeared at the center of the monitor to prepare subjects for the MI task. Afterwards, the subject performed the imagery task of grasping with the appropriate hand for 4 s when the right or left arrow appeared as a visual cue. After each task, the screen remained blank for 6 s (± 1.5 s). The experiment consisted of training and test phases; each phase had 100 trials with balanced right and left hand imagery tasks. During the online test phase, the fixation cross appeared at the center of the monitor and moved right or left, according to the real-time classifier output of the EEG signal.
