Abstract
Studying the motor-control mechanisms of the brain is critical in academia and also has practical implications because techniques such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can be developed based on brain mechanisms. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals have the highest spatial resolution (~3 mm) and temporal resolution (~1 ms) among the non-invasive methods. Therefore, the MEG is an excellent modality for investigating brain mechanisms. However, publicly available MEG data remains scarce due to expensive MEG equipment, requiring a magnetically shielded room, and high maintenance costs for the helium gas supply. In this study, we share the 306-channel MEG and 3-axis accelerometer signals acquired during three-dimensional reaching movements. Additionally, we provide analysis results and MATLAB codes for time-frequency analysis, F-value time-frequency analysis, and topography analysis. These shared MEG datasets offer valuable resources for investigating brain activities or evaluating the accuracy of prediction algorithms. To the best of our knowledge, this data is the only publicly available MEG data measured during reaching movements.
