OpenCogData is a database of publicly available cognitive task datasets. To browse the database, click on the links above or use the search bar at the top-right of this page.

What is the goal of OpenCogData?

The goal of this project is to make it easier for researchers to find and use publicly available cognitive task data as part of research. There's already so much data out there that can be used to test new hypotheses or models; calculate effect sizes for power analysis; and estimate meta-analytic effects across studies.

What is the scope of OpenCogData?

The scope of this project is to catalogue all open datasets involving cognitive tasks (e.g., Stroop, delay discounting, 2-arm bandits). The inclusion criteria for datasets are:
  1. The data were collected from human participants.
  2. The data involve at least one cognitive task.
  3. Trial- or item-level data are available (i.e., summary statistics are not sufficient).

Who maintains OpenCogData?

This project is maintained by Sam Zorowitz and the Data Science and Sharing Team at the National Institute of Mental Health.
