Data Sets

Short overview of the two data sets used for validating the proposed methods.

Healthy Data Set [1] Stroke patients' Data Set [2]
four different MI tasks, namely the imagination of movement of the left hand, right hand, both feet, and tongue. two different MI tasks namely left- versus right-hand movement visualized with an exoskeleton.
9 subjects with two sessions, namely training and test sessions held on different days. Each session comprises 72 trials per class making a total of 288 trials. 10 hemiparetic stroke patients with two training sessions and an online feedback session each consisting of 40 trials randomly distributed equally into left- and right-hand tasks.
All signals were bandpass filtered from 0.5 to 100 Hz (with a 50-Hz notch filter enabled). The recorded EEG signals were sampled at a frequency of 250 Hz. There were 22 EEG channels. The data acquisition was done at a 500-Hz sampling rate and initially bandpass filtered between 0.1 and 100 Hz with a notch filter at 50 Hz to cancel the power line noise. There were 12 EEG channels.

Two different data sets are used, because stroke patients’ data have more nonstationarity due to altered neurodynamics and lack of engagement during the task.
