P300 target images in rapid serial visual presentation at three rates

LTRSVP · EEG Signals from an RSVP Task: EEG decoding results

EEG Signals from an RSVP Task (PhysioNet ltrsvp, version 1.0.0, May 2017) holds EEG from 11 healthy participants who watched aerial images of London in rapid serial visual presentation at 5, 6 and 10 images per second; target images had an airplane superimposed. Eight posterior channels (PO8, PO7, PO3, PO4, P7, P8, O1, O2) at 2048 Hz, filtered 0.15–28 Hz, two recordings per rate separated by a long break. Contributed from the University of Essex and described by Matran-Fernandez and Poli in PLoS ONE (2017).
