nm000276 NEMAR-native dataset

SWEC iEEG Dataset

This dataset contains long-term pre-surgical intracranial EEG (iEEG) recordings from 40 patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy, collected at the Sleep-Wake-Epilepsy-Center (SWEC), University of Bern, in collaboration with ETH Zurich. It comprises approximately 5376 hours of continuous iEEG recorded via strip, grid, and depth electrodes, with 381 annotated electrographic seizures marked by a board-certified epileptologist. The dataset is fully anonymized, with channel and electrode location information withheld to protect patient identity, and is structured in BIDS format for long-term monitoring analysis.

Compute on this dataset

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

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/nm000276), and submit.
nsgportal.org →
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 nm000276
cd nm000276 && nemar dataset get
```
Just the files.
rclone, aria2c, or any HTTPS client works against data.nemar.org/nm000276/ — 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 nm000276 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 nm000276 --subjects sub-01,02 Also filters by --sessions, --tasks, --runs, --datatypes, --include and --exclude.
A subset, step 1: nemar dataset clone nm000276 Clones git-annex pointers only; fetches no file content. Creates ./nm000276.
A subset, step 2: cd nm000276 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/nm000276/v1.0.0/participants.tsv A direct HTTPS fetch works for any single file.
