Data Sheet 1_EEG hyperscanning in intellectual disability: a scoping review with implicati

A 2026 scoping review by Pavithra Pavithra, analyzing 19 articles from databases including CINAHL and MEDLINE. The review examines evidence for using EEG and hyperscanning to evaluate cognitive and social outcomes in adults with intellectual disability, specifically in the context of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy. It identifies a research gap, as no studies currently use EEG to evaluate CST in this population.

Use Cases

• Identify research gaps for EEG-based evaluation of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy based on the review's findings.
• Survey the evidence base for group-based interventions in intellectual disability based on the included feasibility studies.
• Explore the application of EEG hyperscanning as a non-invasive, objective outcome measure based on the review's proposal.

Strengths

• Follows PRISMA-ScR guidelines for systematic scoping reviews.
• Analyzes 19 articles from four major academic databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsychInfo, EMBASE).
• Licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for open sharing and reuse.

Limitations

• Dataset is a 24 KB DOCX file, indicating a very small-scale textual summary rather than primary research data.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; the file contains a review article.
• The data is a literature review, so its utility for direct AI/ML training is limited.
