2026-06-25 A Fine-grained Spatiotemporal ECoG Dataset during Speech Perception in Tonal Language doi:10.57760/sciencedb.27618 en High-density intracranial recordings during naturalistic language processing are critical for advancing models of speech perception. However, open, well-annotated high-density ECoG resources for tonal languages such as Mandarin remain scarce. We present a publicly available high-density ECoG dataset from four participants undergoing awake craniotomy who listened to continuous, sentence-level Mandarin drawn from the Annotated Speech Corpus of Chinese Discourse (ASCCD). Signals were recorded with 128–256-channel subdural grids and synchronized with the audio; ECoG signals were down-sampled to 400 Hz, filtered in the high-gamma range (70–150 Hz), and used to derive high-gamma amplitude. The release follows BIDS-iEEG and is distributed as NWB files, with derivatives including high-gamma amplitude; word- and syllable-level alignments; Pinyin; lexical tone and stress tiers; prosodic break indices; mel-spectrograms; F0 and formants; and electrode localization on individual anatomy with projections to MNI space. This resource supports fine-grained investigations of lexical tone, syllabic structure, and higher-level linguistic representations during naturalistic listening. neural encoding; cognitive neuroscience; ECoG; Mandarin; speech perception Haobo Zhang Daohan Zhang Jinsong Wu Yuanning Li Junfeng Lu PUBLIC https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ dataset http://www.doi.org/10.1038/s41597-026-07619-z Science Data Bank
