This is Release 1 of HBN-EEG, the EEG and (soon-released) Eye-Tracking Section of the Child Mind Network Healthy Brain Network (HBN) Project, curated into the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) format. This dataset is part of a larger initiative to advance the understanding of child and adolescent mental health through collecting and analyzing neuroimaging, behavioral, and genetic data (Alexander et al., Sci Data 2017).
This dataset comprises electroencephalogram (EEG) data and behavioral responses collected during EEG experiments from >3000 participants (5-21 yo) involved in the HBN project. The data has been released in 11 separate Releases, each containing data from a different set of participants.
The HBN-EEG dataset includes EEG recordings from participants performing six distinct tasks, which are categorized into passive and active tasks based on the presence of user input and interaction in the experiment.
Resting State: Participants rested with their heads on a chin rest, following instructions to open or close their eyes and fixate on a central cross.
Surround Suppression: Participants viewed flashing peripheral disks with contrasting backgrounds, while event markers and conditions were recorded.
Movie Watching: Participants watched four short movies with different themes, with event markers recording the start and stop times of presentations.
Contrast Change Detection: Participants identified flickering disks with dominant contrast changes and received feedback based on their responses.
Sequence Learning: Participants memorized and repeated sequences of flashed circles on the screen, designed for different age groups.
Symbol Search: Participants performed a computerized symbol search task, identifying target symbols from rows of search symbols.
