Effort-R-scripts: Behavioral Data from Parkinson's Decision-Making Task

21 Parkinson's disease patients and 20 healthy controls performed a decision-making task where they chose between movement options based on perceived effort. The dataset includes R scripts and CSV files for analyzing this behavioral data. Johannes Schönhals published the 235.7 KB collection on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license, last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparing decision-making patterns between Parkinson's patients and healthy controls based on behavioral task data.
• Analyzing the relationship between perceived movement effort and choice selection in a clinical population.
• Developing or validating computational models of effort-based decision-making using the provided R scripts.

Strengths

• Data from a controlled study with 21 Parkinson's patients and 20 healthy controls.
• Includes R scripts for analysis, potentially aiding reproducibility.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations
