The dataset contains files from a neuroimaging study that aimed to investigate how fundamental frequency (f0) is processed during speech perception. 34 native speakers of French (young adults between the ages of 18-40, right-handed with normal hearing and no reported past or current neurological or severe psychiatric disorders) listened to single lexical and nonlexical words (spoken by either a male or a female speaker and intoned as either a question or statement). They were asked to categorize each heard stimulus as a question or a statement. The dataset is organized according to the BIDS format. For each participant, there are two main folders: 1) meg and 2) anat. 1) contains magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data generated during the experiment described above (.fif). Furthermore, there is an events file (.tsv, .json) that contains information about the timing and identity of each presented auditory stimulus; a channels file (.tsv, .json) that describes each MEG channel; a coordinate system file (.json) that describes the head coils used; a calibration file (.dat); and a crosstalk file (.fif). 2) contains a T1-weighted anatomical image. Empty room recordings (.fif), scripts to analyze the data, and source files are also provided.
