Load this dataset

This repo is a pointer. The raw EEG data lives at its canonical source (OpenNeuro / NEMAR); EEGDash streams it on demand and returns a PyTorch / braindecode dataset.

# pip install eegdash
from eegdash import EEGDashDataset

ds = EEGDashDataset(dataset="ds006171", cache_dir="./cache")
print(len(ds), "recordings")

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

from eegdash.dataset import Melcon2024
ds = Melcon2024(cache_dir="./cache")

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

from braindecode.datasets import BaseConcatDataset
ds = BaseConcatDataset.pull_from_hub("EEGDash/ds006171")
