The mpib_ecomp_sourcedata dataset

This dataset contains the sourcedata from the eComp experiment, conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development (MPIB) in 2021, by Stefan Appelhoff and colleagues.

It is hosted on GIN: https://gin.g-node.org/sappelhoff/mpib_ecomp_sourcedata/

Note that all recording dates have been anonymized.

All important details are reported in the original paper for the project:

• preprint: 10.1101/2022.03.31.486560
• journal article: forthcoming

The raw data organized in Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS; https://bids.neuroimaging.io/) format are available here:

• repository: https://gin.g-node.org/sappelhoff/mpib_ecomp_dataset/
• doi: forthcoming

Derived data are available here:

• repository: https://gin.g-node.org/sappelhoff/mpib_ecomp_derivatives/
• doi: forthcoming

Overview

This is a very condensed overview of the data. For a full understanding, please see the materials linked above, and contact the author in case of doubt.

Each subject folder contains the following files:

• Two *_info.json files: One for each task condition (called "stream": single and dual) with general participant information
• Two directories: "single" and "dual", containing the following data for the two task conditions respectively:
• EEG data: .eeg, .vhdr. .vmrk BrainVision files
  • The information about TTL markers can be found in the experiment code
• Behavior data: .tsv file
  • This is a very brief description of the columns:
    • trial: the trial index (integers starting with 0)
    • direction: did participant press "left" or "right" button; is "n/a" if no response (strings)
    • choice: in single --> "lower" vs "higher"; in dual --> "red" vs "blue"; is "n/a" if no response (strings)
    • ambiguous: True/False whether the mean was exactly 5 (single), or the mean difference was exactly 0 (dual) --> in those cases, participants received random feedback (booleans)
    • rt: reaction time in seconds (floats), is "n/a" if no response (string) --> so in this column there may be floats and strings
    • validity : True/False --> is False, if there was a timeout in the choice. Happened rarely --> 6 times over all subjs and trials. If True, "direction", "choice", "rt", and "correct" are "n/a" as a value
    • iti: The inter trial interval for this trial in ms
    • correct: True/False whether the choice was correct (this is random in ambiguous trials; booleans); is "n/a" if no response (string) --> so in this column there may be booleans and strings
    • stream: The stream that this data was produced in: "single" or "dual" (strings)
    • state: 0 or 1, used for presenting the response options one way or the other way around (integers), irrelevant for analysis, because this is already more accessible encoded in "direction"+"choice"
    • sample1 ... sample10: the 1st, 2nd, ... 10th sample in this trial: Integer between 1 and 9 with either positive or negative sign, mapping to blue or red color respectively
• Eyetracking data: .edf EyeLink file (this is NOT the "European Data Format", but the "Eyelink Data format")
  • Event markers have the same meaning as in the EEG data

Download

   3. go to root of dataset: cd mpib_ecomp_sourcedata
   4. get all data: datalad get *
   5. if you want to work on the files or edit them, you may need to run datalad unlock *
2. Via the GIN client
