MUnitQuest Familiarization Data for the Dynamic Challenge

DOI

This dataset contains high-density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) recordings from the Dynamic Challenge during the MUnitQuest Familiarization phase.

MUnitQuest is a community-driven competition on motor unit identification methods. The data and metadata of each recording follow the standardized EMG-BIDS format.

This dataset contains 100 simulated HDsEMG recordings during various dynamic tasks. Each data file (.edf) is accompanied by the following metadata files specifying the recording set-up and the task: - electrodes.tsv: A tabular file specifying the electrode positions - coordsystem.json: The frame of reference of the electrode coordinates - channels.tsv: A tabular file providing a mapping from the electrode configuration to the data matrix - emg.json: Describing the recording hardware and configuration - events.tsv: A tabular file specifying the experimental protocol

Tutorials on how to import the EMG data provided in this dataset can be found in the MUnitQuest-Tutorial repository.
