This longitudinal Mobile Brain-Body Imaging dataset was acquired during six rehearsal sessions and three public performances of a scene from a play with highly emotional components. Three student actor dyads (N=6), one theatre director (N=1) and three audience members (N=3) participated in this study. The MoBI data recorded includes mobile electroencephalography, electrooculography, blood volume pulse, heart rate, body temperature, electrodermal activity, triaxial arm and head acceleration. The visual data includes five streams of video. This article describes the experimental setup, the multi-modal data streams acquired using a hyperscanning methodology, and an assessment of the data quality.
