## Load this dataset
This repo is a **pointer**. The raw EEG data lives at its canonical source
(OpenNeuro / NEMAR); [EEGDash](https://github.com/eegdash/EEGDash) streams it
on demand and returns a PyTorch / braindecode dataset.
```python
# pip install eegdash
from eegdash import EEGDashDataset
ds = EEGDashDataset(dataset="ds004860", cache_dir="./cache")
print(len(ds), "recordings")
```
If the dataset has been mirrored to the HF Hub in braindecode's Zarr layout,
you can also pull it directly:
```python
from braindecode.datasets import BaseConcatDataset
ds = BaseConcatDataset.pull_from_hub("EEGDash/ds004860")
```

## Upstream README
_Verbatim from the dataset's authors — the canonical description._
EEG data collected from 31 participants as part of a research program on moral judgment.
The experiment consists of a third-party moral judgment task integrated into a semantic judgment task (N400). Participants listened to moral scenarios featuring either intentional or accidental harm transgressions. The last word of the scenario appeared as text (target) and participants had to respond whether the target was congruent with the scenario they just heard by pressing a response button. The target was congruent half of the time. The agent's intention and semantic congruency were manipulated orthogonally, leading to 4 within-subject conditions. For 20% of the moral scenarios, a moral judgment question (punishment) was presented immediately after the congruency judgment and participants indicated how much punishment the agent responsible for the moral transgression deserved using a joystick.
