An EEG dataset to study neural correlates of audiovisual long-term memory retrieval
摘要
Memory retrieval is a fundamental cognitive process that plays a critical role in our lives. Studying the neural correlates of this process has significant implications for numerous fields, such as education and health care. Advances in neuroimaging technologies have facilitated the use of neural data, such as electroencephalography (EEG), to decode cognitive states associated with memory tasks. However, most memory research is still conducted using simple stimuli, such as lists of words, and it is unclear how much the discoveries made with such stimuli generalise to more naturalistic scenarios. We introduce a dataset of EEG signals from 27 participants acquired while they watched 10-second long clips of movies (some of which they had previously seen), together with annotations that reflect whether they recognised or remembered the scenes and the time points of recognition. This dataset allows the study of neural correlates of long-term memory recall in a naturalistic task.
