Hello, We’ve been trying to improve our covariance matrix. I read this excellent paper , and I’m working on trying to apply. I started with this documentation , but I have several questions. Can anyone provide an example command of how you might use tsss on empty room data with an applied real hea…

There is no error in the documentation: mne.preprocessing.maxwell_filter_prepare_emptyroom(raw_er, *, raw, bads='from_raw', annotations='from_raw', meas_date='keep', emit_warning=False, verbose=None) In Python, every argument after the * is a keyword-only argument. This is to force users to use ke…

Apologies, here is the correct DOI for the paper: https://doi.org/10.3389/fneur.2022.827529

Thank you! Looks very helpful! Megan

Hello, I’m stuck using mne.preprocessing.maxwell_filter_prepare_emptyroom. Could someone please provide a usage example? My command looks like: mne.preprocessing.maxwell_filter_prepare_emptyroom(empty_raw, raw) I get the following error TypeError Traceback (…

Hello, Perhaps there is an error in the documentation? I tried mne.preprocessing.maxwell_filter_prepare_emptyroom(empty_raw, raw =raw, verbose=True) using raw as a keyword argument instead of positional, and the command was successful. Thank you, Megan

Hi, Thanks for your explanation. This is new to me! Should it be then, raw=raw instead of just …, *, raw, … ? Is raw the keyword and the object being passed to the keyword parameter? Thanks! I sincerely appreciate your help, Megan

Correct, it should be either maxwell_filter_prepare_emptyroom(raw_er=..., raw=...) or maxwell_filter_prepare_emptyroom(..., raw=...) because all of the arguments after the * must be provided with their keyword name (raw=, bads=, …). Note that the variable name passed can differ, e.g. maxwell_filter…

@mschendel I’ve asked ChatGPT to generate an explanation. Please explain Python’s keyword-only arguments in simple terms to somebody who’s not familiar with this concept. Please explain how to spot them and how to use them (from a user side). Please include examples of keyword-only arguments with …

Hi all, I really appreciate your help! That all helps me understand. Sincerely, Megan
