The egis file format has historically gone with different suffixes including .egis, .ses, .ave, and .raw. Likewise the simple binary format has likewise gone with different suffixes including .sbin and .raw. It started on the Mac where suffix standardization is not as important as on the PC, where suffixes are used by the operating system to tell different file types apart (Macs have historically relied on a separate metadata file, although they are now shifting to more reliance on suffixes, which I think is a mistake). </div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, the question for you is what you mean by an EGI .ses file? It could refer to a number of things. If you mean the native NetStation file format, only NetStation can read them since the file format relies on some 3rd party software and other folks haven't wanted to pay the license fees.</div><div><br></div><div>By real time/date, do you mean when the session was recorded (as opposed to event time stamps)? If so, the answer is yes to both.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers!</div><div><br></div><div>Joe</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div><div>On Oct 7, 2012, at 6:15 PM, Elena Orekhova <<a href="mailto:Elena.Orekhova@neuro.gu.se">Elena.Orekhova@neuro.gu.se</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div ocsi="0" fpstyle="1" style="font-family: Courier; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><font size="2">Matt,<br><br>Thank you for the explanations.<br>Just in case you know, do .egs or .sbin contain information about real time/date?<br><br>Elena<br><br></font><div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; "><hr tabindex="-1"><div id="divRpF667149" style="direction: ltr; "><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>From:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:fieldtrip-bounces@science.ru.nl">fieldtrip-bounces@science.ru.nl</a> [<a href="mailto:fieldtrip-bounces@science.ru.nl">fieldtrip-bounces@science.ru.nl</a>] on behalf of Matt Mollison [<a href="mailto:matt.mollison@gmail.com">matt.mollison@gmail.com</a>]<br><b>Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Sunday, October 07, 2012 8:33 PM<br><b>To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>FieldTrip discussion list<br><b>Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Re: [FieldTrip] EGI .ses import<br></font><br></div><div></div><div>Elena,<div><br></div><div>The FieldTrip wiki says that there is support for .egis, .sbin, .ses, .ave, and .gave <<a href="http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/getting_started/egi" target="_blank">http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/getting_started/egi</a>>, but it doesn't seem that the last three are actually supported. If you look in the fieldtrip-DATE/fileio/ft_read_header.m function, the only EGI formats supported seem to be the first two I mentioned (egis and simple binary), plus the new metafile format. You'll need to export your .ses file to one of these supported formats. I've had luck with egis and sbin (tip: I've found that egis is faster to read).
