Theta-band EEG Connectivity During Emotional Music in Disorders of Consciousness

Sifan Wang published a dataset on figshare in March 2026. It contains EEG functional connectivity data from 48 patients with disorders of consciousness, comparing minimally conscious state and unresponsive wakefulness syndrome groups. The data includes measurements during resting state and four emotional music conditions, quantified using weighted phase lag index.

Use Cases

• Compare theta-band functional connectivity between MCS and UWS patients based on group comparisons.
• Analyze responsiveness to emotional music stimuli based on within-group comparisons of resting and music states.
• Evaluate connectivity differences across scalp regions based on frontal, parieto-occipital, temporal, and central region data.

Strengths

• Includes data from 48 patients (32 MCS, 16 UWS), providing a defined sample size.
• Uses weighted phase lag index, phase-locking value, and coherence as multiple connectivity metrics.
• Compares four specific emotional music conditions (sad, fearful, happy, peaceful) against a resting state baseline.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is 238.1 KB, indicating a very limited scope of data.
