RaCCooNS

Radboud Coregistration Corpus of Narrative Sentences

RaCCooNS dataset [Frank and Aumeistere, 2024].

The Radboud Coregistration Corpus of Narrative Sentences (RaCCooNS) dataset consists simultaneously recorded eye-tracking and EEG data from Dutch sentence reading, aimed at studying human sentence comprehension and evaluating computational language models. The dataset includes 37 participants reading 200 narrative sentences, with eye movements and brain activity recorded to analyze reading behavior and neural responses. The dataset provides both raw and preprocessed data, including fixation-related potentials, enabling comparisons between cognitive and neural processes.

Check the respective paper [Frank and Aumeistere, 2024] for details.
