ERPDB: a Database of ERP Data for Neuroinformatics Research

Event-related potential (ERP) is the measurement of the brain's electrical activity in response to different types of events. These signals are useful for learning how information is processed in the human brain. Being a neuroinformatics laboratory, we deal with lots of ERP signals, which come from various research programs. Different programs have different experiment designs, different parameters settings, and different data formats. These could be big problems for our study. For this reason, arranging the data and constructing a database to store them is quite necessary.

ERPDB contains the information of the participants and the rearranged signals.The data have been transformed into more organized data, which are more convenient for further computation and analysis. Also, new data can be easily added into the database according to our standard. This database is available on the web.

Your database looks interesting. On searching the Web I could not find the URL. Could you post the URL on this blog?
Thanks

Thanks for your visit! The database was constructed mainly for further research in our lab, so the website is not always available from the outside. I am not a student there any more, so I can just try my best to ask them to make it available as often as possible. The URL is here: http://202.113.232.103:8088/erpdb-en/index.asp
