[Eeglablist] The KARA ONE Database: Phonological Categories in imagined and articulated speech

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Frank,

Very nice! I've often seen requests (many from India) to share EEG data. I
believe your effort to share data in that way will facilitate the research
activity in the (mainly engineering) field.
