Hi Matlab team,
I tried the following code in matlab 2021b and it produced a matrix with every cell containing only one value (for the most part): 0.48829.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
fs = 256;
hdr = edfheader("EDF");
hdr.StartDate = '12.01.17';
hdr.StartTime = '01.45.04';
hdr.PhysicalDimensions = repmat("mV",1,38);
hdr.Patient = '...';
hdr.SignalLabels = ["C001";"C002";"C003";"C004";"C005";"C006";"C007";"C008";"C009";"C010";"C011";"C012";"C013";"C014";"C015";"C016";"C017";"C018";"C019";"C020";"C021";"C022";"C023";"C024";"C025";"C026";"C027";"C028";"C029";"C030";"C031";"C032";"C033";"C034";"C035";"C036";"C037";"C038"]';
hdr.NumDataRecords = 1;
hdr.Recording = ['SampleRate 256' 'Recording.PatientID_StudyID = 0 0' '...'];
hdr.PhysicalMin = repmat(-32000,1,38);
hdr.PhysicalMax = repmat(32000,1,38);
hdr.DigitalMin = repmat(-32768,1,38);
hdr.DigitalMax = repmat(32767,1,38);
hdr.NumSignals = 38;
hdr.DataRecordDuration = seconds(length(sigdata2)/fs);
edfw = edfwrite('Exportv2_3.edf',hdr,sigdata2);
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The 'sigdata2' matrix is a 5122 X 38 DOUBLE matrix. (38 channels)
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
J.

Thanks Max. My question is how to get the edfwrite function to write out my original EEG data matrix with the original data values in the 'sigdata' (input argument) WITHOUT instead overwriting the original numeric values in the datamatrix by replacing all of those values with one single number: which is 0.488289. This one value is listed in every cell of the data matrix, and results in flat EEG signals when I open the edf file in edfbrowser. Please help.
I have attached the resulting data file as a .txt.

Hi Max,
I am also attaching the original data matrix that I would like to have as the edf output (instead of all cells containing the same value).

Hi Joanne,
I get that you are unable to write the exact “sigdata2” to the EDF file using the MATLAB’s “edfwrite” function.
By setting the fields of the EDF header structure correctly you can replicate the exact data into the EDF file.
Specifically, you need to change the “PhysicalMin” and “PhysicalMax” attributes so that they reflect the actual minimum and maximum values present in your “sigdata2” matrix.
Here's how you can adjust the header:
hdr.PhysicalMin = min(sigdata2)
hdr.PhysicalMax = max(sigdata2)
By setting these attributes to match your data range, you're instructing the “edfwrite” function to map your physical data directly to the digital values in the file without any unintended scaling.
Additionally, it's important to specify the sample type when writing the data. The “edfwrite” function has a property called “InputSampleType” that determines how the function interprets the incoming data. To ensure that the function processes your data as physical values rather than digital ones, you should set this property to “physical”.
Here's how you can modify your “edfwrite” function call:
edfw = edfwrite('Exportv2_3.edf',hdr,sigdata2, 'InputSampleType','physical');
With these adjustments, your EDF file should now accurately represent the original “sigdata2” matrix, preserving the exact values.
To know more about the “edfwrite” function and “edfheader”, refer to the following documentation:
