MIT Yes Syntrogi NITRC EEG Study Schema (ESS) EEG Study Schema (ESS) makes it easier for researchers in the field of EEG/BCI to package, share and automatize the analysis workflow of their study data. You can think of ESS as a "shipping container" for your EEG study data. Using other people’s EEG data could be painful as often one has to do detective work to find out: What happened in the experiment? Which files are for which subjects/sessions? What do these event codes mean? To remove ‘EEG data sharing pain' we have created a set of standards (HED and ESS) and tools ESS is designed from a user-centered viewpoint that emphasizes simplicity and ease of use. It is created to contain all the information a researcher unfamiliar with a particular EEG (or MEG) Study needs to further analyze the data. It is An XML-based specification Holds all the information necessary to analyze an EEG study. Please visit www.eegstudy.org for more information.
