Example data

[DominiqueMakowski]

I'd say that a start will be to 1) implement some data reading function(s) [can start with the read_acqknowledge in NeuroKit1] and 2) upload some test data, which we will be able to use as a testcase, and also for documentation and tutorials.

For 1), we could also think about a wrapper around the wfdb reader to do tests on data from https://physionet.org/

For 2) I will probably be able to record and upload some data using Biopac and the empathica wristband, for a simple paradigm (e.g., neutral vs. emotional pictures), in the next few weeks.

@hcp4715 @sangfrois may I know if you have any particular recording device that you used/use/might use?

Hi @DominiqueMakowski,

regarding 1), I started implementing a wrapper around wfdb for testing purposes a while back.

regarding 2), we're using the Bitalino at our lab and I could provide some sample data for ECG and breathing (although that might not be necessary if we grab data from wfdb).

Hey @DominiqueMakowski ; of course, i can tell you : my lab collects signals with various amplifiers. We have a biopac set and record ECG, Resp, EDA, pulse. Stationned at UNF we acquire them simultaneously with fMRI and even M/EEG (so a lot of options). The team will soon openly release data from a small sample (n<15) scanned intensively and also publish tools of analyses via our github.

• So yeah, i can surely give a look at read_acknowledge in neurokit1 .

Hi, @DominiqueMakowski ,

Our lab only uses BioPac to record EDA and ECG data, but we usually give electric shocks.

data can be now stored in the data folder, + we start to have some nice simulators.

Once we start on adding more processing functions, we will test them using different data sources, I'll let you know ☺️
