This dataset contains iEEG neural recordings and mood measurements from adult human subjects undergoing inpatient monitoring for seizure localization. The experimental design, including explanation of metrics of interest, is detailed in Rao et al (2018) Current Biology. Each subject received an identifier: EC##. Electrode coverage varied across subjects and was solely dictated by clinical need. Note, each probe (with multiple channels) was named by the anatomical target of the probe. The spacing of electrodes and size of targets means that not all electrodes within a given probe will contact tissue in the anatomical target. MRI and CT reconstructions allowed us to assign the activity recorded on specific electrodes to different brain regions of interest.

A series of MATLAB scripts was used for extracting data, preprocessing, calculating spectral power, and statistics. A number of functions are called within scripts (included in this repository). EEGLAB functions are used for plotting to aid visualization and artifact rejection.

 

Data Description

iEEG during Continuous Stimulation

Each subject’s raw iEEG during continuous stimulation are saved in a separate folder. Three recording systems were used to acquire iEEG, and the data format differs slightly.

 

Natus system (‘Clinical’ data): Files are named using subject identifier, ‘rawDuringContinous’, and the amplitude of stimulation applied. For non-OFC stimulation locations, the location of stimulation is also included in the file name. If no location is included in the file name, lateral OFC was the stimulation location. Each file contains:

• • rawData: iEEG data, channels x samples
  • selectAnatmy: Electrode names and locations; order corresponds to the order of data in rawData
  • Fs: Sampling rate (Hz)
  • patientID: Subject identifier
  • numChannels: Number f channels included in rawData

 

TDT (Tucker-Davis Technologies): Files are named using subject identifier and a block number (e.g. B30), or can be identified by accompanying ‘TDT_elecs_all.mat’ or ‘TDT_elecs_special.mat’ files with electrode information. Each file contains the same variables as Clinical data.

 

NeuroOmega data: Files are named using subject identifier and ‘NO’ appears in file name. Each file contains:

• • rawData: iEEG data, channels x samples
  • selectAnatmy: Electrode names; order corresponds to the order of data in rawData
  • Fs: Sampling rate (Hz)

 

iEEG during Single-Pulse Stimulation

Each subject’s raw iEEG during single-pulse stimulation are saved as EC##_rawData_SPS.mat. Each of these files contains:

• • RawData: iEEG data, channels x samples
  • Fs: Sampling rate (Hz)
  • Anatmy: Electrode names and locations; order corresponds to the order of data in rawData

 

Group data are saved in SPS_Group.mat, which contains:

• • patientID: Subject identifiers fr electrodes in group analysis, corresponds to order of data in peakValuesBefore and peakValuesAfter
  • peakValuesBefre: Peak values of ERP before continuous stimulation, pulses x subjects
  • peakValueAfter: Peak values f ERP after continuous stimulation, pulses x subjects

 

iEEG during Natural Behavior

Each data file EC##_data.mat contains:

• IMS: Structure array with IMS scres for this subject (time excluded to preserve PHI)
• ECG: Structure array with raw ECoG data (from OFC channels) from a 4-minute window around each IMS.

Note: For each ECoG segment, "data" and sampling rate "Fs" are stored; data around one IMS may be broken into multiple segments by the recording device. Thus, the ECoG structure array may have more elements than the IMS structure array.

 

Behavior

Spreadsheets and mat files contain subject trait and behavior metrics:

• • KS_OFCStim_BehavirData.mat: IMS, word valence, and CMS for stimulation tested in lateral OFC.
  • KS_NnOFCStim_BehaviorData.mat: IMS, word valence, and CMS for stimulation testing in non-lateral OFC locations.
  • KS_SpeechRate_6mA.mat: Speech rate fr each subject during sham and 6mA OFC stimulation.
  • KS_TraitScres.mat: BDI and trait score for each subject.
  • KS_AllNrmIMS.mat: Normalized score for every IMS datapoint, with identification of subject trait depression status.
  • KS_AllNrmIMS.xlsx: Normalized score for every IMS datapoint.
  • KS_NumberIMSPerDat.xlsx: Number f IMS each subject completed each day; days are numbered sequentially (Day 1, Day 2, etc.) to help protect confidentiality.

 

Description of Analysis Scripts and Outputs
