MEG and EEG Recordings of Visual Target-Detection and Mnemonic Templates

Nicholas Edward Myers released this dataset in 2020 containing magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) recordings from a visual target-detection task. The data tracks neural activity trajectories to investigate how internal mnemonic templates interact with sensory evidence.

Use Cases

• Decoding stimulus and template representations from MEG/EEG time-series signals
• Analyzing neural activity trajectories relative to stimulus onset timestamps
• Evaluating decision-variable representations during the perceptual decision stage

Strengths

• Dual-modality MEG and EEG sensor data
• High-resolution temporal trajectories of neural activity
• CC0-1.0 public domain status

Limitations

• Missing metadata regarding the number of subjects and trials
• Task-specific focus on visual target-detection limits broader cognitive application
