| Whakarāpopotonga: | Naturalistic electrocorticography (ECoG) data are a rare but essential resource for studying the brain's linguistic capabilities. ECoG offers a high temporal resolution suitable for investigating processes at multiple temporal timescales and frequency bands. It also provides broad spatial coverage, often along critical language areas. Here, we share a dataset of nine ECoG participants with 1,330 electrodes listening to a 30-minute audio podcast. The richness of this naturalistic stimulus can be used for various research endeavors, from auditory perception to semantic integration. In addition to the neural data, we extract linguistic features of the stimulus ranging from phonetic information to large language model word embeddings. We use these linguistic features in encoding models that relate stimulus properties to neural activity. Finally, we provide detailed tutorials for preprocessing raw data, extracting stimulus features, and running encoding analyses that can serve as a pedagogical resource or a springboard for new research.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.Footnotes* https://openneuro.org/datasets/ds005574* https://hassonlab.github.io/podcast-ecog-tutorials/html/index.html |
