Python API Reference¶
This is the reference for classes (CamelCase names) and functions
(underscore_case names) of MNE-Python, grouped thematically by analysis
stage. Functions and classes that are not
below a module heading are found in the mne namespace.
MNE-Python also provides multiple command-line scripts that can be called directly from a terminal, see Command line tools using Python.
mne:
MNE software for MEG and EEG data analysis.
