Collection description
This dataset accompanies the paper entitled "Two weeks of mirror exposure enhances sensorimotor cortex activation but not facial mimicry in 4-month-old infants". The datasets include sensorimotor cortex activity measured by EEG, facial muscle responses measured by EMG, and observable facial movements at pre‑ and post‑test. All files share a common participant identifier, enabling merging across files.
