Many technological applications in the field of neurology and neuroscience depend on evaluations based on electroencephalographic data (EEG). So far, public resources for EEG recordings are limited. We present here the European database developed in the EU-founded project “EPILEPSIAE” (Grant 211713).

The EPILEPSIE database is by far the largest and most comprehensive database for human surface and intracranial eeg data. It is suitable for a broad range of applications e.g. of time series analyses of brain activity. The database is accessible for users who apply to the research groups in charge (http://epilepsy-database.eu).

Currently, the EU database contains annotated EEG datasets from more than 200 patients with epilepsy, 50 of them with intracranial recordings with up to 122 channels. Each dataset provides EEG data for a continuous recording time of at least 96 hours (4 days) at a sample rate of up to 2500 Hz. Clinical patient information and MR imaging data supplement the EEG data.
