SpiderPhy dataset: A multimodal dataset of Physiological, Psychometric and Behavioral Responses to fear stimuli

Abstract The SpiderPhy dataset is a dataset of physiological, psychometric, and behavioral data from subclinical spider fearful individuals (N = 54) who underwent exposure to spider stimuli. The physiological data comprises electrocardiograms, electrodermal activity, respiration patterns, and oculom...

Description
Summary:Abstract The SpiderPhy dataset is a dataset of physiological, psychometric, and behavioral data from subclinical spider fearful individuals (N = 54) who underwent exposure to spider stimuli. The physiological data comprises electrocardiograms, electrodermal activity, respiration patterns, and oculometry data including gaze position and pupil size. After each spider-exposure trial, the stimulus was rated on a 0–100 scale on how much fear the stimulus evoked. Demographical data and behavioral data, including pre-post assessment of phobic symptoms, state of exhaustion, or experience of disgust, are also included. This dataset is of particular interest for researchers interested in investigating relationships between multiple physiological responses, current state of fear and/or phobic symptom severity.
