SCNUED

South China Normal University Emotional EEG Dataset

Dataset Description

SCNUED records low-channel wearable EEG during passive audiovisual emotion induction. EEG signals were acquired with a five-channel portable EEG headband after conductive gel application and signal-quality checks.

No event files are released in v1.0 because the BDF annotation channels do not contain validated nonnumeric event labels.

Quality Notes

Release BDF headers are de-identified by rewriting patient, recording, date, and time fields. EEG data records remain unchanged, and the manifest confirms identical post-header data hashes.
