Open Data

Acknowledging our work

Our lab is committed to data sharing and providing other researchers with the opportunity to explore new research questions and avenues using our data. Below you find links to EEG, eye-tracking, pupillometry, and other datasets under a Creative Commons license. We continue to add new datasets when the lab publishes new work.

Please cite our work if you use one of our datasets. We also encourage you to reach out to the corresponding and/or senior author and to consider involving them in your project. This may help you get additional insights about the data that may not be detailed in the paper, and it values our contribution, in line with common authorship contributions, for example, Nature's statement: "Each author is expected to have made substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, ..."

Story recall data in 11 different languages

Description: 2-min spoken stories (AI synthesized speech), story texts, and spoken recall data by younger participants from 11 different language backgrounds. Participants listened to and recalled the stories in their native language.

Pupil-size and eye-movement data during listening and different levels of motivation

Description: Pupil-size and eye-movement data from younger adults who listened to noise sounds and performed a gap detection task. Gap detection was either easy or difficult and motivation was manipulated.

Eye-movement and pupillometry data from younger adults listening to speech

Description: Eye-link eye-tracking and pupillometry recordings for three experiments. In the experiments, participants listened to sentence or stories under varying degrees of background masking and different visual screen displays.

Intelligibility data from younger and older adults listening to AI synthesized speech

Description: Intelligibility data for three experiments in younger and older adults listening to speech masked by different degrees of background sound and maskers with different envelope shapes. Participants listened either to speech spoken by a human or to speech generated using modern AI speech synthesizers.

EEG data from younger and older adults listening to amplitude-modulated sounds

Description: 16-channel Biosemi EEG data. Younger and older adults listened to 4-Hz amplitude-modulated sounds with different envelope shapes. The data set comprises raw data and related information.

Eye-tracking & pupillometry during sentence listening

Description: Eye-link 1000 data from participants listening to sentences with low- and high-ambiguity words presented under different acoustic degradation conditions.

MEG and eye-tracking data during effortful listening and different levels of motivation

Description: MEG and eye-movement data from younger adults who listened to noise sounds and performed a gap detection task. Gap detection was either easy or difficult and motivation was manipulated.

EEG data from younger adults performing an audio-visual dual or single task

Description: 64-channel EEG data from two sessions in which participants performed an auditory-gap detection task and concurrently (dual task) or independently (single task) performed a multiple-object tracking task.

Speech-intelligibility data from younger and older adults listening to masked speech

Description: Intelligibility data for three experiments in younger and older adults listening to speech masked by different degrees of background sound and maskers with different envelope shapes. In one experiment, participants listened to disconnected sentences. In two other experiments, they listened to spoken stories.

MEG data from younger and older adults listening to sounds with regular patterns

Description: 306-channel Neuromag MEG. Younger and older adults listened to sounds that contained a regular pattern and sounds without a pattern. The data set comprises raw data and related information.

EEG data from five experiments on perceptual learning of auditory patterns

Description: 16-channel Biosemi EEG data from five experiments and behavioral data from one experiment. Participants listened to sounds containing auditory patterns that either repeated or were novel. The data set comprises raw data and related information.
