Data
Open Source Cognitive Electrophysiology Data
The lab is migrating our data sharing to OpenNeuro, an open-source platform where we are uploading our datasets once we have converted them to BIDS standards.
Here is some of our intracranial data: FR1, catFR1, PAL1, pyFR, RepFR1
As well as some of our scalp EEG: PEERS, NICLS
Please contact sas-kahana-sysadmin@sas.upenn.edu for any questions about the data, and keep an eye out on OpenNeuro as we update these releases and share new datasets. Also, let us know about the research you do with the data — all we ask is that you cite where you got it from using the "How to Cite" panel on OpenNeuro!
Cognitive Electrophysiology Data Portal
The below publications have available electrophysiological data. They generally fall into two categories: scalp EEG from the Penn Electrophysiology of Encoding and Retrieval Study (PEERS) and intracranial EEG from epilepsy patients collected mostly during the Restoring Active Memory (RAM) project.
The Computational Memory Lab stores our data using Box. To request access to the data folder for a specific publication, click the "Ephys Data" link for the desired publication.
Papers based on the ECoG/iEEG dataset collected as part of the RAM project may not be listed. To access to this data, please instead submit a request here and indicate that you are intending to use the RAM dataset.
For more information on requesting and downloading data, please click here.
Please also find our collection of behavioral testing data here.
