EDA dataset usage
Most-used EDA datasets.
WESAD is the most-used EDA dataset in the ChatPPG research hub: 28 papers and 16 models published here link to it. The rest of the top five are DREAMT (6), ECSMP (3), BIG IDEAs Lab Glycemic Variability and Wearable Device Data (3) and Autism Inpatient Collection (AIC) (2). This ranking covers the 11 of 117 ranked datasets that record electrodermal activity (EDA), with 66 links from published papers and models.

How the ranking works
Counts are links between published ChatPPG pages: a paper or model page that names the dataset it used, and that dataset's page. Unpublished papers and models are excluded, and nothing is inferred from titles or abstracts.
This page keeps only datasets whose ChatPPG record lists electrodermal activity (EDA) among its recorded signals, and ranks them against each other. The rank column is the rank within EDA datasets; the overall ranking covers every dataset.
Datasets are ranked by total links (papers plus models); ties share a rank. Pretrain, train and eval columns count only links whose source states that role, so they can add up to less than the total; a dash means no link to that dataset states a role. The table refreshes with every research hub sync.
Licence, signals and tasks come from each dataset's ChatPPG record. Check the dataset page and its source before you use the data.
FAQ
What is the most used EDA dataset?
WESAD, with 44 links from published ChatPPG pages (28 papers and 16 models). Next are DREAMT (6), ECSMP (3) and BIG IDEAs Lab Glycemic Variability and Wearable Device Data (3).
How many EDA datasets are ranked here?
11 datasets list electrodermal activity (EDA) among their recorded signals and have at least one published paper or model linking to them. Together they have 45 paper links and 21 model links.
Which EDA datasets are used most for stress detection?
5 EDA datasets in this ranking list stress detection as a task. The most used are WESAD (44), Autism Inpatient Collection (AIC) (2) and K-EmoCon (2).
Which EDA datasets do the most models use?
WESAD (16 models), DREAMT (1 model) and BIG IDEAs Lab Glycemic Variability and Wearable Device Data (1 model). Model counts include foundation models and task models with a published ChatPPG page.
Which EDA datasets are used most for pretraining?
Where the source states a role, the most common pretraining datasets are WESAD (1) and BIG IDEAs Lab Glycemic Variability and Wearable Device Data (1).
Which EDA datasets are used most for evaluation?
Where the source states a role, the most common evaluation datasets are WESAD (21), DREAMT (3) and EEVR (2).
How are these counts calculated?
Each count is a link between two published ChatPPG pages: a paper or model page that lists the dataset it used, and the dataset's own page. 45 links come from papers and 21 from models. Unpublished papers and models are not counted, and no link is inferred. A dataset is included when its ChatPPG record lists electrodermal activity (EDA) as a recorded signal.
