Machine learning of dorsal column nuclei surface potentials evoked by tactile- and proprioceptive-dominated mechanical stimuli (rat data set).

Raw data organisation is schematically described in the pdf document: data_arrangement.pdf

Extracted features from raw data (for machine learning) is described as follows:

  • Each row is 1 feature. There are 28 features x 7 electrodes = 196
  • Below the rows of inputs is the 16 output targets in rows 197-212
  • Each column is a trial
  • labels for each row are found in the first two columns

Data are contained in .mat files.

Description The raw data are electrical signals recorded from the surface of rat brainstem using a 7-electrode surface array. Rats were urethane anaesthetised and 4 different tactile and proprioceptive stimuli were applied to each of the four limbs while the electrical brainstem signals were simultaneously recorded. Twenty-eight different types of signal features were quantified from these recordings and stored in matrices that can be used as inputs for machine-learning. The features were quantified from 17 different time windows ranging from 20 ms to 1000 ms in length. In total, there is data from six rats (n = 6).
