2018

  • (20181022) NEDC TUH EEG Seizure (v1.4.0): This release includes improvements to the quality of annotations. Updates to the training dataset include annotation corrections and the removal of one session.

  • (20180621) The TUH EEG Events Corpus (v1.0.1): The EDF files in the previous release with corrupted headers have been fixed. All files should pass processing using standard open source tools.

  • (20180530) The sixth floor lab had a going-away party to celebrate Eva Von Weltin's last week working with us. We are incredibly grateful for having Eva work with us these past few years, and wish her the best in her future endeavours!

  • (20180514) IEEE SPMB 2018 is quickly approaching. Please make sure to submit your papers before the August 1st deadline!

  • (20180327) The TUH EEG Six-Way Event Classification Corpus (v1.0.0): This release contains the data used to develop our initial version of AutoEEG. Sections of EEG signals are annotated for one of 6 events: spike, gped, pled, eye movement, artifact and background. Please review the AAREADME file for more information about the release.
