NBD is an fMRI dataset that was collected during spoken presentation of short excerpts of three stories in Dutch. Written versions of the stimuli are annotated with part of speech tags (PoS) and phonemic transcriptions. In addition, the texts are accompanied with stochastic (perplexity and entropy) and semantic computational linguistic measures. The richness and unconstrained nature of the data allows the study of language processing in the brain, in a more naturalistic setting than is common for fMRI studies.
