# pyFR: Delayed Free Recall of Word Lists, Preliminary Cognitive Electrophysiology Study

**Dataset ID:** `ds004865`

**Canonical aliases:** `pyFR`

> **At a glance:** IEEG · Visual memory · surgery · 42 subjects · 172 recordings · CC0

## 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="ds004865", cache_dir="./cache")
print(len(ds), "recordings")
```

You can also load it by canonical alias — these are registered classes in `eegdash.dataset`:

```python
from eegdash.dataset import pyFR
ds = pyFR(cache_dir="./cache")
```

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/ds004865")
```

### pyFR: Delayed Free Recall of Word Lists, Preliminary Cognitive Electrophysiology Study
#### Description
This dataset contains behavioral events and intracranial electrophysiological recordings from a delayed free recall task.  The experiment consists of participants studying a list of words, presented visually one at a time, completing simple arithmetic problems that function as a distractor, and then freely recalled the words from the just-presented list in any order.  The data was collected at clinical sites across the country as part of a collaboration with the Computational Memory Lab at the University of Pennsylvania.
This study was a preliminary cogntive electrophysiology study undertaken by the Computational Memory Lab, and is a predecessor to the following datasets: [FR1](https://openneuro.org/datasets/ds004789) & [CatFR1](https://openneuro.org/datasets/ds004809)
#### To Note
* The iEEG recordings are labeled either "monopolar" or "bipolar."  The monopolar recordings are referenced (typically a mastoid reference), but should always be re-referenced before analysis.  The bipolar recordings are referenced according to a paired scheme indicated by the accompanying bipolar channels tables.
* Each subject has a unique montage of electrode locations.  MNI and Talairach coordinates are provided when available, along with brain region annotations.
* Recordings were made on multiple different systems, so we have done the scaling to provide all voltage values in V.
