In this example, we show how to fetch and prepare a MOABB dataset for usage with Braindecode.

from braindecode.preprocessing import preprocess, Preprocessor

First, we create a dataset based on BCIC IV 2a fetched with MOABB,

dataset = MOABBDataset(dataset_name="BNCI2014001", subject_ids=[1])

BNCI2014001 has been renamed to BNCI2014_001. BNCI2014001 will be removed in version 1.1.
The dataset class name 'BNCI2014001' must be an abbreviation of its code 'BNCI2014-001'. See moabb.datasets.base.is_abbrev for more information.

The dataset has a pandas DataFrame with additional description of its internal datasets

dataset.description

	subject	session	run
0	1	0train	0
1	1	0train	1
2	1	0train	2
3	1	0train	3
4	1	0train	4
5	1	0train	5
6	1	1test	0
7	1	1test	1
8	1	1test	2
9	1	1test	3
10	1	1test	4
11	1	1test	5

We can iterate through dataset which yields one time point of a continuous signal x, and a target y (which can be None if targets are not defined for the entire continuous signal).

for x, y in dataset:
    print(x.shape, y)
    break

(26, 1) None

We can apply preprocessing transforms that are defined in mne and work in-place, such as resampling, bandpass filtering, or electrode selection.

preprocessors = [
    Preprocessor("pick_types", eeg=True, meg=False, stim=True),
    Preprocessor("resample", sfreq=100),
]
print(dataset.datasets[0].raw.info["sfreq"])
preprocess(dataset, preprocessors)
print(dataset.datasets[0].raw.info["sfreq"])

We can easily split the dataset based on a criteria applied to the description DataFrame:

subsets = dataset.split("session")
print({subset_name: len(subset) for subset_name, subset in subsets.items()})

{'0train': 232164, '1test': 232164}

See our Trialwise Decoding and Cropped Decoding examples for training with this dataset.
