mne.read_epochs_eeglab¶

mne.read_epochs_eeglab(input_fname, events=None, event_id=None, eog=(), verbose=None, uint16_codec=None)[source]¶

Reader function for EEGLAB epochs files.

Parameters

input_fnamestr

Path to the .set file. If the data is stored in a separate .fdt file, it is expected to be in the same folder as the .set file.

eventsstr | array, shape (n_events, 3) | None

Path to events file. If array, it is the events typically returned by the read_events function. If some events don’t match the events of interest as specified by event_id, they will be marked as ‘IGNORED’ in the drop log. If None, it is constructed from the EEGLAB (.set) file with each unique event encoded with a different integer.

event_idint | list of int | dict | None

The id of the event to consider. If dict, the keys can later be used to access associated events. Example:

{"auditory":1, "visual":3}

If int, a dict will be created with the id as string. If a list, all events with the IDs specified in the list are used. If None, the event_id is constructed from the EEGLAB (.set) file with each descriptions copied from eventtype.

eoglist | tuple | ‘auto’

Names or indices of channels that should be designated EOG channels. If ‘auto’, the channel names containing EOG or EYE are used. Defaults to empty tuple.

verbosebool, str, int, or None

If not None, override default verbose level (see mne.verbose() and Logging documentation for more). If used, it should be passed as a keyword-argument only.

uint16_codecstr | None

If your *.set file contains non-ascii characters, sometimes reading it may fail and give rise to error message stating that “buffer is too small”. uint16_codec allows to specify what codec (for example: ‘latin1’ or ‘utf-8’) should be used when reading character arrays and can therefore help you solve this problem.
