Human Lateral Occipital Cortex Intracortical Recordings During Attention Experiment

Michaël Vanhoyland published a 5.9 GB dataset of raw multi-unit recordings from the human lateral occipital cortex. The data was collected while patients performed an attention experiment and includes files for local field potentials (LFP) and spike events. The dataset was last updated on May 15, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze neural correlates of spatial attention based on multi-unit recordings from the lateral occipital cortex.
• Model the biased-competition theory of attention based on spike-event and local field potential data.
• Study time-series dynamics of brain activity during an attention task based on LFP signals sampled at 1000 Hz.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 5.9 GB, indicating a substantial volume of raw neural recordings.
• Includes multiple synchronized data streams: LFP at 1000 Hz, spike events, and experiment logs.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for open use.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to the specific patient cohort and experimental setup.
