Hi all,

I'm an absolute noob to Matlab, and I have a few files that I wish to look at which my local hospital has given me for an EEG they performed. They gave me files with the following file extensions: - eeg - ent - erd - epo - etc - snc - stc

I tried loading in the .eeg file using EEGLAB but it just blew up with the following error:

", 0: baseline: 8236  sensitivity: 4261158260372115100000000000000.000000  calibration: 250017424.000000
In an assignment  A(:) = B, the number of elements in A and B must be the same.
Error in loadeeg (line 145)
  calib(elec) = fread(fid, 1, 'float32');

Anyone have any idea what I can do?...

Thanks

I share your frustration. See if the Neuroworks software can write it in a format that EEGLAB can read. At the very worst, see if you can write it to a spreadsheet format such as Excel. (When I worked with EEGs many years ago, the data were saved to text files.)

It looks like you might be trying to read a text file as if it is binary ?

Hi, I have confronted the same problems just as you described above, maybe a little bit better, because i was able to convert the data to EDF+ format, so it can be read in eeglab. However, another problem occurred that the EDF+ doesn't contain the event type, which makes it difficult for further analysis.

I was wondering whether the event information was stored in other file, such as in the .ent file. Could you tell us how you parse the data? Your reply is of great value. Thanks a lot.

I have spent so much time on this problem, and my solution is that giving up to parse the raw data (mentioned above) but use the software named Natus Database to export the raw data as .edf format, so you can process it in eeglab or other software.

You can get access to the Natus Database software just on the computer where you copy the raw data.

If you are using Natus, then export as an .EDF file and you can use either of these functions to read your files.

.EDF does not contain the time markers but .EDF+ does. However, when natus export you do not get to choose between .EDF/EDF+. So, you can go to your original file, open it, right click on the notes, then export to text. Now you have a text file with all the information you need from the EEG.
