[Eeglablist] epileptic EEG recordings publicly available

[Germán Gómez-Herrero]

Dear all,
Our collaborators from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL) (Belgium) have
given public access to two of their long-term EEG recordings from patients
suffering Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. I think these data files can be
very useful for many engineers looking for good EEG data to validate their
analysis methods.

The data (in EDF format and compressed EDF format) is available here:
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~gomezher/projects/eeg/databases.htm 

If you try to download the .EDF files please use the "Save target as..."
option from your browser or the browser will try to open the files instead
of downloading them.

Apart from that I also want to inform you that we have corrected a lot of
major bugs from the original version of our automatic artifact correction
plug-in for EEGLAB. So if you are using it you should download the new
version. Also, we have made available online some correction examples if you
want to check the performance of the plug-in:

http://www.cs.tut.fi/~gomezher/projects/eeg/aar/aardoc/node11.html 

The data used in those examples can also be downloaded in EEGLAB's .set
format from the link:
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~gomezher/projects/eeg/databases.htm 

Please tell me if you experience any problems downloading any of the data
files. 

Best regards,
Germán

> 
> Two items of possible interest to eeglablist users and contributors,
> as we approach our fourth and by far largest EEGLAB workshop in La
> Jolla this next week:
> 
> First, we have received the good news that our US National Institutes
> of Health (NIH) proposal for continued funding of EEGLAB development
> is 'highly likely' to be successful. Thanks to all who sent us letters
> of support for this vital application, as well as to all who have
> contributed EEGLAB plug-ins, functions, bug reports, suggestions,
> workshops and seminars, research publications, and word of mouth
> goodwill!
> 
> The new funding will allow us to add over time several categories of
> functionality to EEGLAB as well as considering fundamental
> improvements in programming to increase its reliability and ease of
> use. During this process, we will make every effort to maintain and
> enhance the user experience to minimize or eliminate any need for
> re-learning by EEGLAB users.
> 
> Second, we are planning to submit a second proposal to NIH in the new
> year to create an associated human electrophysiology database (for
> EEG, MEG, ECOG, and related multimodal imaging) within the NIH Brain
> Informatics Research Network (BIRN).
> 
> We are looking for EEGLAB community members who may be interested and
> potentially willing to share their data online -- particularly
> existing data, either already in EEGLAB format or not. Of special
> interest would be large studies. Typically, archived data would have
> been already reported in primary publications, and would be made
> available for further mining using current or future analysis methods,
> including training and research by students of new analysis methods.
> Human use approval issues would be handled carefully. The project
> might also support existing research community groups who would like
> to exchange and share accumulating new data among themselves.
> 
> The BIRN network also has supercomputer cluster resources available to
> it -- one of the areas we are exploring is the possibility of linking
> the database to selected large-scale data processing capabilities.
> 
> I would be pleased to hear from any members of this list who would be
> interested in participating, and particularly from any list members
> who might if asked contribute a letter of support to accompany the
> database proposal. Please respond to smakeig at ucsd.edu.
