The data presented in this page contains ongoing MEG data, collected by Professor Riitta Hari and Dr. Veikko Jousmäki at the Brain Research Unit, from the Helsinki University of Technology. It consists of ongoing 122 dimensional MEG data, contaminated with several artifactual sources. Their SNR vary from sufficiently high to be visible, to too low to be perceived.

The data consist of 5 sec (2500 samples) of an 8-channel cutaneous potential recording of a pregnant woman, sampled at 500 Hz:

  • column 1: time steps
  • columns 2-6: abdominal signals
  • columns 7-9: thoracic signals
