Add ECG data

[fraBent]

File containing ECG data to be included as a new pre-processed data format.

We think that .CSV file may work, expecting to have a structure like: timestamp (sec) ; ECG value

If you can provide a description in the same spirit as the other, I can revise it. Otherwise, you would have to wait that I find some time to propose a description :)

[fraBent]

For sure!

ECG data

Description: This file shall contain the ECG signal collected from the human subject. Generally, it is a graph of voltage versus time of the electrical activity of the heart using electrodes placed on the skin en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography. Unit is mV (milliVolt). Label: ecg

Name of the file: subject_N_run_R_ecg, where N = subject’s number and R = run number. Use appropriate leading zeros for R and N to ensure proper ordering of files.

File format: .csv

File structure: time | ecg sec | mV

Thanks

There is a format for physiological data. Wouldn't it be better to include ecg as a field in it?

[fraBent]

We decide to include ECG data as a new Data Format cause it is acquired at a different frequency and cannot be merged with the other ones. Moreover, we cannot neither resample it given that in the benchmarking routine it undergoes frequency analysis.

If it is a common practice to have it acquired separately then it makes sense to store it separately. If it could be acquired jointly (apart from your testbed @FraCampus ), then we could describe it jointly, mentioning clearly that each of the signal could be also be stored individually if frequency acquisition differs.
