7  Data formats

The GUTS project follows a multi-method, multi-index approach. As a result, the GUTS data consists of various data types and formats. Below you can find an overview of all data formats during the two phases of data processing. In addition, you can find an overview of all data types and data categories(constructs).

  1. Raw data

    The raw files are defined as the files that have not been through any processing. For example, the files that are exported from e-prime, qualtrics, mri, etc.

    Data type Data format
    Qualtrics questionnaire .csv or .sav
    Demographics .csv or .sav
    Behavioral .csv, .xlsx, .edat3
    EEG .bdf
    EEG behavioral .csv
    (f)MRI .PAR + .REC + .nii or .dcm
    (f)MRI behavioral eprime: .edat3, opensesame:, presentations:
    ESM .csv or .tsv
    Physiological measures physical saliva and hair samples

  2. Processed data

    The processed files are the fully-cleaned files after all steps of processing. The processed files are uploaded to Yoda.
