Out:

Reading /home/circleci/mne_data/MNE-sample-data/MEG/sample/sample_audvis-ave.fif ...
    Read a total of 4 projection items:
        PCA-v1 (1 x 102) active
        PCA-v2 (1 x 102) active
        PCA-v3 (1 x 102) active
        Average EEG reference (1 x 60) active
    Found the data of interest:
        t =    -199.80 ...     499.49 ms (Left Auditory)
        0 CTF compensation matrices available
        nave = 55 - aspect type = 100
Projections have already been applied. Setting proj attribute to True.
Applying baseline correction (mode: mean)

Show result as a butterfly plot: By using exclude=[] bad channels are not excluded and are shown in red

evoked.plot(exclude=[], time_unit='s')

# Show result as a 2D image (x: time, y: channels, color: amplitude)
evoked.plot_image(exclude=[], time_unit='s')
