Neurofeed EEG Windows

Ready-to-train 2-second, 256 Hz EEG windows derived from open EEG/PSG datasets and remapped onto consumer-headset layouts: Muse (AF7, AF8, TP9, TP10) and Neurosity Crown (C3/C4-centred). Every config ships fixed subject-level splits, per-recording manifests with per-source license and upstream URL, frozen-encoder baselines, and honest negative results.

  • About 1.56 M windows in 8 configs, all from open sources (CC0-1.0, ODC-By-1.0, CC-BY-4.0).
  • Derived data only: no raw EDF/BDF, no gated or non-commercial sources, no model weights.
  • This is proxy data: PSG and research-cap electrodes mapped to headset positions, not recordings from Muse or Crown hardware.

Each config folder has its own card (README.md, with montage, preprocessing, label rules, splits, baselines, limitations and a load snippet) and ATTRIBUTION.md (citations, license notice, changes made).

Channel orders. Muse4 AF7, AF8, TP9, TP10 · Crown2 C3, C4 · Crown4 C3, C4, F6, PO4 · Crown8 CP3, C3, F5, PO3, PO4, F6, C4, CP4. Never mix montages in one example. Details in schemas/montages.json.

How to load

The windows are NumPy .npz files (X, y, starts, label_names, plus optional keys). datasets.load_dataset and the dataset viewer are not supported, so use huggingface_hub + NumPy:

# uv add huggingface_hub numpy
import json, numpy as np
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

REPO = "windwerfer/neurofeed-eeg-windows"
path = hf_hub_download(REPO, "crown2_vigilance_hmc/windows/SN001_windows.npz", repo_type="dataset")
z = np.load(path, allow_pickle=True)   # allow_pickle only for stage_raw / stage_coarse (vigilance configs)
X, y = z["X"], z["y"]                  # X: (N, 2, 512) float32, y: (N,) int64
print([str(s) for s in z["label_names"]], X.shape)

man = json.load(open(hf_hub_download(REPO, "crown2_vigilance_hmc/windows/SN001_manifest.json", repo_type="dataset")))
print(man["subject_id"], man["license_spdx"], man["source_url"])

Each config card has a full snippet that downloads only one split (manifests → subject ids → .npz files). Pin a commit hash (revision=) when you report numbers. Schema: schemas/schema_windows.md, manifest fields: schemas/manifest_fields.md.

Scale differs by config. Vigilance configs are band-passed microvolts, attention configs are raw volts, and A-eng is z-scored. Normalise before mixing.

Splits and combining configs

  • Every config has frozen subject-level splits in <config>/splits/. No subject is in two splits within a config. Windows overlap in time, so always split by subject, never by window.
  • Do not combine muse4_vigilance_sleep_edf with crown2_vigilance_hmc / crown4_vigilance_hmc. The 24 HMC subjects of the muse4 config also appear in the crown configs, and 13 of them sit in a different split. If you must pool them, use the leak-free union split in cross_config/vigilance_hmc_leakfree.json. Results under that split are not comparable to the per-config baselines.
  • Muse4 vigilance test is cross-cohort. Test is 18 Sleep-EDF telemetry subjects (a temazepam study) + SC400, and val is mostly HMC, so the 0.747 is a cross-cohort score. The split stays frozen for comparability.
  • Attention subject IDs collide: ds001787 and ds003969 both use sub-001…, so key subjects as <dataset>/<sub>.

Baselines and negative results

All numbers use frozen encoders (CBraMod, or REVE-base where noted) with a small head on held-out subjects. Full metrics JSON (per class, per fold, confusion matrices): neurofeed_eeg_datasets/baselines.

  • Works: sleep-onset vigilance (W vs N1) transfers to headset-like channel sets: Muse4 proxy 0.747, Crown2 0.670, Crown4 0.680. REVE-base reproduces the published HMC 5-stage linear probe (balanced accuracy 0.649 vs paper 0.647).
  • Does not work (published on purpose): attention / mind-wandering from 4 or 8 channels across subjects is at chance (LOSO 0.36 CBraMod, 0.50 REVE; random ≈ 0.50, collapse ≈ 0.33–0.40). Engagement looks better than it is because of task-order confounds (0.55–0.59). Rest vs meditation (ds003816), meditation depth and EEGMAT stress vs calm smokes are also at chance; see the training-lab docs.

Notebooks and scripts

Code lives in the public training lab neurofeed_train:

Encoders are not included here. CBraMod is Apache-2.0; REVE-base is gated, so users fetch it under its own terms.
