Preprocessed Data

Here we are sharing the output of preprocessing steps. Using this data, you can employ different (i) feature extraction methods and (ii) baseline correction approaches than what is reported in the paper.

If you are planning to apply different preprocessing steps (including (i) HPI compensation, (ii) artifact rejection, and (iii) source anlysis) you need to use the Raw data.

Data Format

Since all the pre-processing step is handled via MATLAB (and the FieldTrip toolbox), the shared signal files have ".mat" extensions and can be read using MATLAB/OCTAVE. The video files have ".avi" format .


Download from here, the pre-processed data including:

MEG brain Time-Frequency analysis output for Movie / Music video clips

Physiology signal taken from the raw signals and sorted according to user and clip ids

Facial tracks taken from the Tracker's output and sorted according to user and clip ids
