Added two c-VEP datasets from Martinez-Cagigal 2025

[vicmarcag]

I have added two brand new c-VEP datasets from Martínez-Cagigal (2025a,b), summing up to 32 subjects and 13 conditions per each:

• Martínez-Cagigal (2025), Dataset: Non-binary m-sequences for more comfortable brain–computer interfaces based on c-VEPs, DOI: https://doi.org/10.71569/025s-eq10
• Martínez-Cagigal (2025), Dataset: Influence of spatial frequency in visual stimuli for cVEP-based BCIs: evaluation of performance and user experience, DOI: https://doi.org/10.71569/7c67-v596

I have also updated the summary_cvep.csv file, as well as pyproject.toml to require a dependency of medusa-kernel to load the original signals and then convert them to MNE format.

Hey @vicmarcag,

Looks like the conversion is made only once using the Medusa kernel, and it looks like we have dependency conflicts between Medusa and moabb.

I see two solutions to the problem:

1. Run your code once, get the converted dataset and update the code and server to not use the medusa kernel.

2. solve the dependency issues on both sides, on the moabb side and on the Medusa side, to allow both libraries to depend on each other. Possibly create a test and put an optional dependency, like we do with braindecode.

What do you prefer @vicmarcag?

@sebVelut, can you review? two very big c-vep dataset for moabb :)

Hi,

First option is not possible, I'd go for the second. I have now stated medusa-kernel>=1.3 dependency instead of 1.4 so it can be used with python 3.8 and 3.9. Should I create another pull request or is it possible to update this one in this same thread?

ok ok, looks like Medusa is not super heavy, and now it is working fine.

If I understand correctly, we need Medusa because some meta information cannot possible to be loaded with normal MNE, right?

In the future, do you think this new feature from mne could be helpful?

Yes ! I am looking at it as soon as I can ! 😄
