EEG Eye State Dataset

The EEG Eye State Dataset is an advanced dataset of EEG (brainwave) Signals recorded to study the EEG activity of the brain with the eyes closed and open.

The data was recorded via the Emotiv Epoc+ EEG Headset with the subject having their eyes open and closed. The Emotiv Epoc+ EEG Headset has 14 electrodes placed at different areas of the scalp. Each row contains electrical signals generated by the brain gathered from the electrodes.

This data set can be used to explore which areas of the brain are active when a subject is receiving visual stimuli. This dataset is recommended for practicing classification models.
