[FieldTrip] newbie

[Robert Oostenveld]

Hi Hweeling

The channel level data in the BrainVision data file can be represented in ascii and binary format. Furthermore, the order can be one channel at a time or sample-by-sample. Finally there are different numeric precisions (integer, float, etc).

This is something that you cannot see from the outside of the file, but if you open the *.vhdr file in a text editor you can see these details. Since there are so many possible combinations of these three factors, it is not difficult easy to support all possible variants. 

You could try storing the data as multiplexed and in single- or double-precision, which is the most common format. Otherwise, you can report it as feature request on http://bugzilla.fcdonders.nl and attach a small piece of data (with vhdr and vmrk file) there.

best regards,
Robert
