Abstract/Contents

Abstract: This dataset contains cortical (EEG) responses and behavioral ratings related to natural music listening. 128-channel EEG was recorded from 24 adult participants who heard the entire first movement of Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E Minor, Op. 85 (1919), as well as a temporally manipulated control stimulus. The intact excerpt is the 1965 performance by Jacqueline du Pré with the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sir John Barbirolli. The control stimulus is a phase-scrambled version of the original, which has been scaled by the amplitude envelope of the original. EEG was recorded while each participant heard each stimulus once. Participants rated the degree of pleasantness, arousal, level of interest, predictability, and familiarity of each stimulus after it played. EEG was also recorded during a 60-second baseline period preceding each stimulus, during which participants heard pink noise played at low volume. The current version of the dataset includes the following files in Matlab format, organized with anonymized participant identifiers: (1) Raw, continuous EEG recordings (24 files; 1 per participant, each around 650MB in size); (2) cleaned, aggregated EEG trials (4 files: 2 stimulus files are 1.25GB each and 2 baseline files are 160MB each); and (3) behavioral ratings (1 file; < 1KB in size).
