I was hunting for such databases for a while while preparing my project. Here is what I collected.

For brain-computer interface developers:

• www.bbci.de/activities

Currently the biggest database for BCI experiments. Contains EEG’s recorded while imagining various movements and P300 data. Also find here desriptions & rankings for different BCI algorithms.

• mmspl.epfl.ch/page33712.html

P300 data for 9 subjects and Matlab code to reproduce results of their paper “An efficient P300-based brain-computer interface for disabled subjects”

• projectbci.googlepages.com

EEG’s of 2 subjects’ movement imagery

• www.cmpe.boun.edu.tr/enterface07/results.php

Look here for project’s #8 “Audiovisual Content Generation Controlled by Physiological Signals for Clinical and Artistic Applications” database. It contains EEG recordings for finger, foot & tongue movements.

Sleep EEG:

• www.physionet.org/physiobank/database/sleep-edf/

EEG recordings of 8 subjects while they were asleep

• www.physionet.org/pn3/shhpsgdb/

Another sleep EEG but from a heart study. Data from one subject is available for download, another 9736 polysomnograms need to be asked for.

Abnormal EEG from epileptic patients:

• epileptologie-bonn.de/cms/front_content.php?idcat=193&lang=3&changelang=3

EEG recordings from epileptic patients (intracranial) and healthy volunteers

• www.vis.caltech.edu/~rodri/data.htm

Some VEP, epileptic and control EEG recordings

Other databases:

• kdd.ics.uci.edu/databases/eeg/eeg.html

A huge database containing ~120 subjects, and for each of them, ~120 one-second VEP recordings. Subjects were presented with simple pictures and their EEG was recorded for one second as they looked on the image trying to remember it.

• sccn.ucsd.edu/~arno/fam2data/publicly_available_EEG_data.html

Here you can download 3.4 Gb database with EEG’s recorded for 14 subjects while they perform picture recognition or categorization tasks.

• sccn.ucsd.edu/eeglab/clusttut/clustertut.html#workingExp

EEG’s from five subjects while they’re trying to distinguish between synonymous and non-synonymous word pairs

• www.cs.colostate.edu/eeg/eegSoftware.html#keirndata

EEG recordings of 7 subjects while they perform such tasks as counting, math, rotation, letter writing or just simply resting.

• www.enterface.net/enterface06/docs/results/databases/eNTERFACE06_EMOBRAIN.rar

“Emotionally driven physiological signals from both the peripheral (galvanic skin response, respiration and blood volume pressure) and central nervous system (EEG and frontal fNIRS)”. More about the project + source code for data analysis – on eNTERFACE page – look for project #7 in 2006 year results
