Description
The electromagnetic measurements of the human cortex used in the creation of the Kymata Atlas (datasets 1-3.01). The recordings were made at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, using an Elekta Neuromag MEG (306 ch.) and an EasyCap EEG (70 ch.). Electromagnetic brain signals are recorded from participants as they experience passive, naturalistic, stimuli. The participants involved are asked to watch a movie and/or listen to the radio (without any further tasks asked of them) and the recordings are made during this period. Data is anonomised and averaged over participants. Due to millisecond differences in stimulus delivery, there are two sets of recordings, one syncronised to the sound stimulus, and one to the visual stimulus.
