EEG+NIRS data set
Description
The EEG+NIRS dataset was collected at Atatürk University, Faculty of Sports Science. Eight healthy volunteers (five males and three females), aged between 19 and 38 years, participated in the experiments conducted from January 3, 2022, to April 15, 2022. Prior to the commencement of the study, all participants were thoroughly informed about the experimental procedures, potential risks, and their rights, both verbally and through detailed written information forms.

The EEG+NIRS dataset was collected at Atatürk University, Faculty of Sports Science. Eight healthy volunteers (five males and three females), aged between 19 and 38 years, participated in the experiments conducted from January 3, 2022, to April 15, 2022. Prior to the commencement of the study, all participants were thoroughly informed about the experimental procedures, potential risks, and their rights, both verbally and through detailed written information forms. The experimental protocol consisted of six sessions for each participant, with each session comprising 20 trials. Each session commenced with a 60-second resting period to establish a physiological baseline. This was followed by a 2-second task cue phase, during which a visual instruction appeared at the center of the screen, indicating the direction in which the upcoming scrolling text would move. Task directions were presented in a randomized manner, ensuring an equal distribution across all directions. After the task cue, a short auditory beep marked the beginning of the 24-second task execution phase. During this phase, participants were asked to read the scrolling text as it moved in the instructed direction. At the end of each task phase, another beep indicated the start of a 10-second inter-trial resting period before the next trial began. To mitigate fatigue and maintain attention throughout the experiment, scheduled breaks were incorporated between sessions. As shown in Figure 3, the inter-session intervals increased progressively across sessions, ranging from 60 seconds in the first session to 360 seconds in the final one. These gradually lengthened breaks were designed to allow both physical and cognitive recovery, thereby minimizing attentional drift and preserving signal quality. The overall session structure was intentionally designed to gradually acclimate participants to the task demands while preventing cognitive overload.
