Open access EEG dataset of repeated measurements from a single subject for microstate analysis

Abstract

AbstractElectroencephalography (EEG) microstate analysis is a neuroimaging analytical method that has received considerable attention in recent years and is widely used for analysing EEG signals. EEG is easily influenced by internal and external factors, which can affect the repeatability and stability of EEG microstate analysis. However, there have been few reports and publicly available datasets on the repeatability of EEG microstate analysis. In the current study, a 39-year-old healthy male underwent a total of 60 simultaneous electroencephalography and electrocardiogram measurements over a period of three months. After the EEG recording was completed, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was also conducted. To date, this EEG dataset has the highest number of repeated measurements for one individual. The dataset can be used to assess the stability and repeatability of EEG microstates and other analytical methods, to decode resting EEG states among subjects with open eyes, and to explore the stability and repeatability of cortical spatiotemporal dynamics through source analysis with individual MRI.
