Loading the dataset#

Firstly, we create a dataset using the braindecode MOABBDataset to load it fetched from MOABB. In this example, we’re using Dataset 2a from BCI Competition IV.

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.

Splitting#

By description information#

The class MOABBDataset has a pandas DataFrame containing additional description of its internal datasets, which can be used to help splitting the data based on recording information, such as subject, session, and run of each trial.

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


Here, we’re splitting the data based on different runs. The method split returns a dictionary with string keys corresponding to unique entries in the description DataFrame column.

splits = dataset.split("run")
print(splits)
splits["4"].description
{'0': <braindecode.datasets.base.BaseConcatDataset object at 0x7ffac0e20b90>, '1': <braindecode.datasets.base.BaseConcatDataset object at 0x7ffac3dc24e0>, '2': <braindecode.datasets.base.BaseConcatDataset object at 0x7ffad3a44740>, '3': <braindecode.datasets.base.BaseConcatDataset object at 0x7ffac0c084d0>, '4': <braindecode.datasets.base.BaseConcatDataset object at 0x7ffac0c08980>, '5': <braindecode.datasets.base.BaseConcatDataset object at 0x7ffac13b9dc0>}
subject session run
0 1 0train 4
1 1 1test 4


By row index#

Another way we can split the dataset is based on a list of integers corresponding to rows in the description. In this case, the returned dictionary will have ‘0’ as the only key.

splits = dataset.split([0, 1, 5])
print(splits)
splits["0"].description
{'0': <braindecode.datasets.base.BaseConcatDataset object at 0x7ffbd8ebaf00>}
subject session run
0 1 0train 0
1 1 0train 1
2 1 0train 5


However, if we want multiple splits based on indices, we can also define a list containing lists of integers. In this case, the dictionary will have string keys representing the index of the dataset split in the order of the given list of integers.

splits = dataset.split([[0, 1, 5], [2, 3, 4], [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]])
print(splits)
splits["2"].description
{'0': <braindecode.datasets.base.BaseConcatDataset object at 0x7ffac0e20b90>, '1': <braindecode.datasets.base.BaseConcatDataset object at 0x7ffac3dc24e0>, '2': <braindecode.datasets.base.BaseConcatDataset object at 0x7ffac0e0f1d0>}
subject session run
0 1 1test 0
1 1 1test 1
2 1 1test 2
3 1 1test 3
4 1 1test 4
5 1 1test 5


You can also name each split in the output dictionary by specifying the keys of each list of indexes in the input dictionary:

splits = dataset.split(
    {"train": [0, 1, 5], "valid": [2, 3, 4], "test": [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]}
)
print(splits)
splits["test"].description
{'train': <braindecode.datasets.base.BaseConcatDataset object at 0x7ffac0ed8860>, 'valid': <braindecode.datasets.base.BaseConcatDataset object at 0x7ffac0c084d0>, 'test': <braindecode.datasets.base.BaseConcatDataset object at 0x7ffac0c0a330>}
subject session run
0 1 1test 0
1 1 1test 1
2 1 1test 2
3 1 1test 3
4 1 1test 4
5 1 1test 5


Observation#

Similarly, we can split datasets after creating windows using the same methods.

windows = create_windows_from_events(
    dataset, trial_start_offset_samples=0, trial_stop_offset_samples=0
)
