Description
Summary:Abstract Semantic understanding is central to advanced cognitive functions, and the mechanisms by which the brain processes language information are still being explored. Existing EEG datasets often lack natural reading data specific to Chinese, limiting research on Chinese semantic decoding and natural language processing. This study aims to construct a Chinese natural reading EEG dataset, TMNRED, for semantic target identification in natural reading environments. TMNRED was collected from 30 participants reading sentences sourced from public internet resources and media reports. Each participant underwent 400–450 trials in a single day, resulting in a dataset with over 10 hours of continuous EEG data and more than 4000 trials. This dataset provides valuable physiological data for studying Chinese semantics and developing more accurate Chinese natural language processing models.
