********************************* Disclaimer: PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS VERSION (Data has been made unavailable) Another version, version 2.0.0, of this data set is available here, which contains the original data (+ details on the data set). The version published on the current page contains EEG data that has been pre-processed with a data-driven artifact removal procedure on a trial-by-trial basis. This can introduce slight differences across trials that can possibly be exploited by classifiers. Therefore, for proper benchmarking of auditory attention decoding algorithms that can learn to use such cues, it is recommended to NOT use this pre-processed data set, and instead use the unprocessed version 1.1.0 (the original data). ********************************* This version of the data set was used in Das, N., Vanthornhout, J., Francart, T., & Bertrand, A. “Stimulus-aware spatial filtering for single-trial neural response and temporal response function estimation in high-density EEG with applications in auditory research.” NeuroImage, Volume 204, 116211, Jan. 2020https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.116211 The results and conclusions in the paper are not affected by the trial-by-trial application of the artifact removal procedure.
