In recent years, short video platforms have gained widespread popularity, making the quality of video recommendations crucial for retaining users. Existing recommendation systems primarily rely on behavioral data, which faces limitations when inferring user preferences due to issues such as data sparsity and noise from accidental interactions or personal habits. To address these challenges and provide a more comprehensive understanding of user affective experience and cognitive activity, we propose EEG-SVRec, the first EEG dataset with User Multidimensional Affective Engagement Labels in Short Video Recommendation. The study involves 30 participants and collects 3,657 interactions, offering a rich dataset that can be used for a deeper exploration of user preference and cognitive activity. By incorporating selfassessment techniques and real-time, low-cost EEG signals, we offer a more detailed understanding user affective experiences (valence, arousal, immersion, interest, visual and auditory) and the cognitive mechanisms behind their behavior. We establish benchmarks for rating prediction by the recommendation algorithm, showing significant improvement with the inclusion of EEG signals. Furthermore, we demonstrate the potential of this dataset in gaining insights into the affective experience and cognitive activity behind user behaviors in recommender systems. This work presents a novel perspective for enhancing short video recommendation by leveraging the rich information contained in EEG signals and multidimensional affective engagement scores, paving the way for future research in short video recommendation systems.
