• Error-Related Potentials (ErrP)

  1. BCI-NER Challenge: 26 subjects, 56 EEG Channels for a P300 Speller task, and labeled dataset for the response elicited when P300 decodes a correct or incorrect letter.

  2. Monitoring ErrP in a target selection task: 6 subjects with 64 EEG electrodes, watching a cursor move towards a target square, and elicited responses are labeled based on whether the cursor moves in right or wrong direction. [Dataset Description]

  3. ErrPs during continuous feedback: 10 subjects with 28 EEG electrodes, playing a video game to study execution and outcome error. [Dataset Part-1] [Dataset Part-2]

  4. HCI-Tagging: Subjetcs were shown images or movie fragments with a tag at the bottom of the screen. In some cases, the tag correctly described something about the situation. However, in other cases the tag did not actually apply to the media item. After each item, a participant was asked to press a green button if they agreed with the tag being applicable to the media item, or press a red button if not. During the whole experiment, audio, video, gaze data and physiological data were recorded simultaneously with accurate synchronisation between sensors.
