Simultaneous EEG and fNIRS recordings for semantic decoding of imagined animals and tools.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Semantic neural decoding aims to identify which semantic concepts an individual focuses on at a given moment based on recordings of their brain activity. We investigated the feasibility of semantic neural decoding to develop a new type of brain-computer interface (BCI) that allows direct communication of semantic concepts, bypassing the character-by-character spelling used in current BCI systems. We provide data from our study to differentiate between two semantic categories of animals and tools during a silent naming task and three intuitive sensory-based imagery tasks using visual, auditory, and tactile perception. Participants were instructed to visualize an object (animal or tool) in their minds, imagine the sounds produced by the object, and imagine the feeling of touching the object. Simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) and near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) signals were recorded from 12 participants. Additionally, EEG signals were recorded from 7 other participants in a follow-up experiment focusing solely on the auditory imagery task. These datasets can serve as a valuable resource for researchers investigating semantic neural decoding, brain-computer interfaces, and mental imagery.
