some time ago I was able to read in Blackrock LFP and events by using 
the provided fieldtrip functions. However, I had to turn event time 
points 
into samples: <br>

<br>

---<br>

cfg = [];<br>

cfg.dataset = 'yourdata.ns2';<br>

data = ft_preprocessing(cfg);<br>

<br>

try<br>

   evt = ft_read_event('yourdata.nev');<br>

catch<br>

   warning('No triggers in dataset.');<br>

   evt = [];<br>

end<br>

<br>

for i=1:numel(evt)<br>

   evt(i).sample = round(evt(i).sample * data.hdr.Fs);<br>

end<br>

---<br>

<br>

The Blackrock folks have their Matlab toolkit on Github, but seem not 
very responsive to pull requests.<br>

<a href="https://github.com/BlackrockMicrosystems/NPMK">https://github.com/BlackrockMicrosystems/NPMK</a><br>

<br>

I guess the challenge would be to use their code for reading in the 
spikes:<br>

spikes = openNEV('yourdata.nev')<br>

<br>

...and to turn the result into fieldtrip spike format, as described 
here:<br>

<a href="http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/reference/ft_datatype_spike/">http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/reference/ft_datatype_spike/</a><br>

<br>

Right? I currently don't work with spike data. Jichen, are you up for 
taking a look at it?<br>

Hi,

  <div class="">Long story short: the neuroshare implementation is not 
functional and a dead end street. We have been working on support for 
blackrock data quite a while ago, but nobody has finished it. As far as I
 know, support for lfp data is more or less implemented,
 I donżt think that spike reading is fully supported by now. Feel free 
to re-open the bug constructrively, and provide a working 
implementation.</div>
