mne.read_label#

mne.read_label(filename, subject=None, color=None, *, verbose=None)[source]#

Read FreeSurfer Label file.

Parameters

filenamestr: Path to label file.
subjectstr | None: Subject which this label belongs to. Should only be specified if it is not specified in the label. It is good practice to set this attribute to avoid combining incompatible labels and SourceEstimates (e.g., ones from other subjects). Note that due to file specification limitations, the subject name isn’t saved to or loaded from files written to disk.
colorNone | matplotlib color: Default label color and alpha (e.g., (1., 0., 0., 1.) for red). Note that due to file specification limitations, the color isn’t saved to or loaded from files written to disk.
verbosebool | str | int | None: Control verbosity of the logging output. If None, use the default verbosity level. See the logging documentation and mne.verbose() for details. Should only be passed as a keyword argument.

comment: comment from the first line of the label file
