mne.io.read_raw_cnt

mne.io.read_raw_cnt(input_fname, eog=(), misc=(), ecg=(), emg=(), data_format='auto', date_format='mm/dd/yy', preload=False, verbose=None)[source]

Read CNT data as raw object.

Note

2d spatial coordinates (x, y) for EEG channels are read from the file header and fit to a sphere to compute corresponding z-coordinates. If channels assigned as EEG channels have locations far away from the head (i.e. x and y coordinates don’t fit to a sphere), all the channel locations will be distorted (all channels that are not assigned with keywords eog, ecg, emg and misc are assigned as EEG channels). If you are not sure that the channel locations in the header are correct, it is probably safer to replace them with mne.io.Raw.set_montage(). Montages can be created/imported with:

Parameters
input_fnamestr

Path to the data file.

eoglist | tuple | ‘auto’ | ‘header’

Names of channels or list of indices that should be designated EOG channels. If ‘header’, VEOG and HEOG channels assigned in the file header are used. If ‘auto’, channel names containing ‘EOG’ are used. Defaults to empty tuple.

misclist | tuple

Names of channels or list of indices that should be designated MISC channels. Defaults to empty tuple.

ecglist | tuple | ‘auto’

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

emglist | tuple

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

data_format‘auto’ | ‘int16’ | ‘int32’

Defines the data format the data is read in. If ‘auto’, it is determined from the file header using numsamples field. Defaults to ‘auto’.

date_format‘mm/dd/yy’ | ‘dd/mm/yy’

Format of date in the header. Defaults to ‘mm/dd/yy’.

preloadbool or str (default False)

Preload data into memory for data manipulation and faster indexing. If True, the data will be preloaded into memory (fast, requires large amount of memory). If preload is a string, preload is the file name of a memory-mapped file which is used to store the data on the hard drive (slower, requires less memory).

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.

Returns
rawinstance of RawCNT.

The raw data.
