The stanford EEG corpus: A large open dataset of electroencephalograms from children and adults to support machine learning technology

摘要

Introduction: The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a tool for diagnosing seizures and assessing brain electrical activity in physiological and pathological states. It forms the basis for brain-computer interfaces and studies of the basic science of brain function. Clinically, the current gold standard for analyzing EEG is visual inspection. Unfortunately, trained EEG readers are a limited resource and the process of reading EEGs is labor-intensive. This limits access to proper seizure monitoring and prevents advances in treatment.
