nm000191 NEMAR-native dataset

BigP3BCI Study F — 6x6 multi-paradigm, 3 sessions (10 healthy subjects)

BigP3BCI Study F is a derivative EEG dataset comprising P300-based brain-computer interface recordings from 10 ALS patients across 3 sessions using a 6x6 character grid speller paradigm. This dataset is extracted from the larger BigP3BCI benchmark (DOI: 10.13026/0byy-ry86) and processed using MOABB 1.5.0. The dataset contains 16-channel EEG data sampled at 256 Hz with visual stimulus presentations classified as target and non-target events, designed for evaluating P300 detection algorithms and BCI speller applications.

Download this dataset

Pick a method. Large datasets skip the zip and use the streaming methods below — all resumable. Full download guide →

  1. Download archive (.zip) — 0.9 GB

    A single zip of the published version. Best for small/medium datasets.

    Download zip

  2. NEMAR CLI recommended

    Pulls the pinned version + annexed data and resumes cleanly. Install nemar-cli → 

    nemar dataset download nm000191
  3. DataLad

    Clone the dataset repo and fetch file content on demand. Docs → 

    datalad clone https://github.com/nemarDatasets/nm000191 nm000191
cd nm000191 && datalad get .
  4. git-annex

    Plain git + git-annex against the dataset repo. Docs → 

    git clone https://github.com/nemarDatasets/nm000191 nm000191
cd nm000191 && git annex get .
  5. Direct files (wget / curl / rclone)

    Every file with a stable, range-resumable URL from the manifest. Needs curl, jq, wget (or rclone/aria2c). Docs → 

    curl -s https://data.nemar.org/nm000191/v1.0.2/manifest.json | jq -r '.[].bytes_url' > urls.txt
wget -xc -i urls.txt

Compute on this dataset

Two routes today, with a third (in-browser one-click submission) landing soon.

  1. NeuroScience Gateway (NSG) portal.

    NSG runs EEGLAB / Brainstorm / MNE pipelines on supercomputing time donated by SDSC. Create an account, point a job at this dataset's S3 prefix (s3://nemar/nm000191), and submit.
    nsgportal.org →

  2. Local processing with nemar-cli.

    Pull the dataset to your machine and run any toolbox locally. Honors the published version pinning. 

    npm install -g nemar-cli
nemar dataset clone nm000191
cd nm000191 && nemar dataset get
  3. Just the files.

    rclone, aria2c, or any HTTPS client works against data.nemar.org/nm000191/ — the manifest carries presigned S3 URLs.

Direct compute access is coming soon. One-click NSG submission from this page is scoped for a follow-up phase. Tracked on nemarOrg/website#6.

    How to download

    The dataset
    nemar dataset download nm000191 Clones and fetches in one step. Content under stimuli/ and derivatives/ is skipped by default because those trees can be large; add --stimuli --derivatives for the whole thing.
    A subset, one step
    nemar dataset download nm000191 --subjects sub-01,02 Also filters by --sessions, --tasks, --runs, --datatypes, --include and --exclude.
    A subset, step 1
    nemar dataset clone nm000191 Clones git-annex pointers only; fetches no file content. Creates ./nm000191.
    A subset, step 2
    cd nm000191 The get command below reads the clone's annex, so it only works from inside the clone.
    A subset, step 3
    nemar dataset get <files> Pulls the files you actually need. Skips stimuli/ and derivatives/ unless the path you ask for is under one of them.
    One small file
    https://data.nemar.org/nm000191/v1.0.2/participants.tsv A direct HTTPS fetch works for any single file.
