[FieldTrip] Reading .csv file and Emotiv compatibility

[Robert Oostenveld]

Hi Mengzi

The csv file does not contain all details that are needed by FieldTrip. E.g. sampling frequency and channel names are likely to be missing. But see here <http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/faq/how_can_i_import_my_own_dataformat#circumvent_the_fieldtrip_reading_functions> for a solution that should work in combination with csvread <https://nl.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/csvread.html>.

Robert

The output data is the the .csv format, and it seems like the toolbox is unable to read such format. It doesn't work well if I load the .csv and save it as .mat either. I was wondering if anyone worked with this format before and how to get around with it? Also, for those who had experience in connecting FT with Emotiv (or any other BCI recording system) to load and analyze data before, is there a way to directly load the recording from the device to the Matlab?
