| Περίληψη: | Here, we present a large-scale, multi-center dataset of combined magnetoencephalographic (MEG) and electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings, along with eye-tracking data and high-resolution structural MRI (T1); complementing with iEEG and fMRI datasets that are shared in accompanying data papers. The data was obtained through an adversarial collaboration between advocates of two neuroscientific theories of consciousness: the Global Neuronal Workspace Theory and the Integrated Information Theory. The dataset includes recordings from 100 individuals (mean age 22.79 ± 3.59 years, 54 female, all right-handed) across two research centers (UK and China), using a standardized data collection protocol. During the experiment, participants were asked to perform a non-speeded Go/No-Go target detection task, during which they were exposed to visual stimuli from four distinct categories (faces, objects, letters, false fonts) presented at different orientations (front, left, right view), and for varying durations (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 s), under different task conditions. The quality of the data was assessed and organized according to the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS). It is accompanied by extensive metadata to enhance reusability. (© 2026. The Author(s).) |
