Abstract

The paper presents the design and construction of a time-stamped multimodal dataset for reading research, including multiple time-aligned temporal signals elicited with four experimental trials of connected text reading by both child and adult readers. We present the experimental protocols, as well as the data acquisition process and the post-processing phase of data annotation/augmentation. To evaluate the potential and usefulness of a time-aligned multimodal dataset for reading research, we present a few statistical analyses showing the correlation and complementarity of multimodal time-series of reading data, as well as some results of modelling adults’ reading data by integrating different modalities. The total dataset size amounts to about 2.5 GByte in compressed format.
