nm000455 NEMAR-native dataset

The neural activity of auditory conscious perception: intracranial EEG epochs (Christison-Lagay et al. 2025; derivative: authors' 2-s grey-matter epochs)

This derivative dataset contains 2-second, artifact-screened intracranial EEG epochs from adults with drug-resistant epilepsy performing an auditory perceptual threshold task. A 75 ms target sound was embedded in white noise at each participant's 50% detection threshold. Epochs are sorted into Perceived, Not Perceived and blank trials, and only grey-matter electrodes are included. It covers 30 participants and 32 recordings, repackaged from the authors' Dryad release into BIDS. The continuous recordings were not released.

Download this dataset

Pick a method. Large datasets skip the zip; resume support depends on each file's storage type. Full download guide →

  1. Download archive (.zip) — 55.7 GB

    A single zip of the published version. Best for small/medium datasets.

    Download zip

  2. NEMAR CLI recommended

    Pulls the pinned version + annexed data and resumes cleanly. Install nemar-cli → 

    nemar dataset download nm000455
  3. DataLad

    Clone the dataset repo and fetch file content on demand. Docs → 

    datalad clone https://github.com/nemarDatasets/nm000455 nm000455
cd nm000455 && datalad get .
  4. git-annex

    Plain git + git-annex against the dataset repo. Docs → 

    git clone https://github.com/nemarDatasets/nm000455 nm000455
cd nm000455 && git annex get .
  5. Direct files (wget / curl / rclone)

    Every file is listed by its stable manifest URL. Single-range requests and resume are currently supported for annex-backed entries; git-tracked files are served as full bodies. Real chunk-only byte delivery still awaits isolated, non-synthetic acceptance. Needs curl, jq, wget (or rclone/aria2c). Docs → 

    curl -s https://data.nemar.org/nm000455/v1.0.0/manifest.json | jq -r '.[].url' > urls.txt
wget -xc -i urls.txt

Compute on this dataset

Two routes today, with a third (in-browser one-click submission) landing soon.

  1. NeuroScience Gateway (NSG) portal.

    NSG runs EEGLAB / Brainstorm / MNE pipelines on supercomputing time donated by SDSC. Create an account, point a job at this dataset's S3 prefix (s3://nemar/nm000455), and submit.
    nsgportal.org →

  2. Local processing with nemar-cli.

    Pull the dataset to your machine and run any toolbox locally. Honors the published version pinning. 

    npm install -g nemar-cli
nemar dataset clone nm000455
cd nm000455 && nemar dataset get
  3. Just the files.

    rclone, aria2c, or any HTTPS client works against data.nemar.org/nm000455/ — the manifest carries stable data-plane file URLs. Single-range requests are supported for annex-backed entries; git-tracked files are served as full bodies. Real chunk-only byte delivery remains under isolated acceptance.

Direct compute access is coming soon. One-click NSG submission from this page is scoped for a follow-up phase. Tracked on nemarOrg/website#6.

    How to download

    The dataset
    nemar dataset download nm000455 Clones and fetches in one step. Content under stimuli/ and derivatives/ is skipped by default because those trees can be large; add --stimuli --derivatives for the whole thing.
    A subset, one step
    nemar dataset download nm000455 --subjects sub-01,02 Also filters by --sessions, --tasks, --runs, --datatypes, --include and --exclude.
    A subset, step 1
    nemar dataset clone nm000455 Clones git-annex pointers only; fetches no file content. Creates ./nm000455.
    A subset, step 2
    cd nm000455 The get command below reads the clone's annex, so it only works from inside the clone.
    A subset, step 3
    nemar dataset get <files> Pulls the files you actually need. Skips stimuli/ and derivatives/ unless the path you ask for is under one of them.
    One small file
    https://data.nemar.org/nm000455/v1.0.0/participants.tsv A direct HTTPS fetch works for any single file.
