Abstract:

The dataset of simultaneous 64-channel electroencephalography (EEG) and high-speed eye-tracking
(ET) recordings was collected from 31 professional athletes and 43 college students during alertness
behavior task (ABT) and concentration cognitive task (CCT). The CCT experiment lasting 1–2 hours
included five sessions for groups of the Shooting, Archery and Modern Pentathlon elite athletes and
the controls. Concentration targets included shooting target and combination target with or without
24 different directions of visual distractors and 2 types of music distractors. Meditation and Schulte
Grid trainings were done as interventions. Analysis of the dataset aimed to extract effective biological
markers of eye movement and EEG that can assess the concentration level of talented athletes
compared with same-aged controls. Moreover, this dataset is useful for the research of related visual
brain-computer interfaces.
