Abstract

It is now possible for scientists to publicly catalogue all the data they have ever collected on one phenomenon. For a decade, we have been measuring a brain response to visual symmetry called the sustained posterior negativity (SPN). Here we report how we have made a total of 6674 individual SPNs from 2215 participants publicly available, along with data extraction and visualization tools (https://osf.io/2sncj/). We also report how re-analysis of the SPN catalogue has shed light on aspects of the scientific process, such as statistical power and publication bias, and revealed new scientific insights.

Item Type: Article
Additional Information: Data availability: All data that supports analysis and Figures, along with codes for analysis, are available on open science framework (https://osf.io/2sncj/). To make it possible for anybody to analyze our data, we developed an app that allows users to: (i) view the data and summary statistics as they were originally published; (ii) select data subsets, electrode clusters, and time windows; (iii) visualize the patterns; (iv) export data for further statistical analysis. This repository and app will be expanded to accommodate data from future projects. The app is available to download for Windows users at https://github.com/JohnTyCa/The-SPN-Catalogue (copy archived at swh:1:rev:75e729f867c275433b68807bc3f2228c57a3ccac).
