mne.io.read_raw_fif

mne.io.read_raw_fif(fname, allow_maxshield=False, preload=False, on_split_missing='raise', verbose=None)[source]

Reader function for Raw FIF data.

Parameters
fnamestr | file-like

The raw filename to load. For files that have automatically been split, the split part will be automatically loaded. Filenames should end with raw.fif, raw.fif.gz, raw_sss.fif, raw_sss.fif.gz, raw_tsss.fif, raw_tsss.fif.gz, or _meg.fif. If a file-like object is provided, preloading must be used.

Changed in version 0.18: Support for file-like objects.

allow_maxshieldbool | str (default False)

If True, allow loading of data that has been recorded with internal active compensation (MaxShield). Data recorded with MaxShield should generally not be loaded directly, but should first be processed using SSS/tSSS to remove the compensation signals that may also affect brain activity. Can also be “yes” to load without eliciting a warning.

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).

on_split_missingstr

Can be 'raise' (default) to raise an error, 'warn' to emit a warning, or 'ignore' to ignore when split file is missing.

New in version 0.22.

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 Raw

A Raw object containing FIF data.

Notes

New in version 0.9.0.
