[FieldTrip] ft_read_data gives discontinuous data warning with NeuraLynx .csc files

[Peter Kaskan]

Hello all,

I am recording intracranial EEG data with a NeuraLynx Atlas system.

I'm using ft_read_data on my folder of NeuraLynx .csc channels, but I am getting a warning message.

Warning: discontinuous recording, predicted number of timestamps and observed number of timestamps differ by 157859.33

Please consult https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/faq/discontinuous_neuralynx__;!!HJOPV4FYYWzcc1jazlU!7-_XqLVpShrv9VUuhF00Lr3AAbVFRKcf7GHuVU6BbKsOQD7GYgiyfblZNzX6KCdvgDlJ_K09LwPU2DqtoZA0WcvCZ23Y9wClew$ 

This little bit of info only seems to tell one how to deal with that if true; not if this is an error. I do not believe the data is discontinuous.

Has anyone got this discontinuous error message with NeuraLynx .csc files that should be / were recorded continuously?

The low-level read_neuralynx_ncs function detects the presence of gaps in the .ncs file and issues a warning.
Can the detection fail, do I really have discontinuous data?

Thanks, Peter
