# ArEEG: Arabic Inner Speech EEG dataset

**Dataset ID:** `ds005262`

_Metwalli2024_

**Canonical aliases:** `ArEEG`

> **At a glance:** EEG · 12 subjects · 186 recordings · CC0

## Load this dataset

This repo is a **pointer**. The raw EEG data lives at its canonical source
(OpenNeuro / NEMAR); [EEGDash](https://github.com/eegdash/EEGDash) streams it
on demand and returns a PyTorch / braindecode dataset.

```python
# pip install eegdash
from eegdash import EEGDashDataset

ds = EEGDashDataset(dataset="ds005262", cache_dir="./cache")
print(len(ds), "recordings")
```

You can also load it by canonical alias — these are registered classes in `eegdash.dataset`:

```python
from eegdash.dataset import ArEEG
ds = ArEEG(cache_dir="./cache")
```

If the dataset has been mirrored to the HF Hub in braindecode's Zarr layout,
you can also pull it directly:

```python
from braindecode.datasets import BaseConcatDataset
ds = BaseConcatDataset.pull_from_hub("EEGDash/ds005262")
```
