Brain Vision to FIFF

Hello!

I'm trying to convert some BrainVision EEG data for use in MNE. I've found
the "mne_brain_vision2fiff" command, but it keeps throwing an error on my
data:

"Binary format IEEE_FLOAT_32 cannot be handled yet"

I'm curious, what Binary Formats ARE supported by this converter?

There doesn't seem to be any other clear way to get .eeg/.vmrk/.vhdr data
into MNE using Python or MATLAB, so this command seems like my best hope.

Thanks,

Erik

hi Erik,

this has been fixed recently by Matti. Please update your mne to the
nightly build.
Don't hesitate to report any issue.

Best,
Alex

Hey,

Awesome! Updated to nightly and it works perfectly on Linux :slight_smile:

For some reason, though, I'm still getting the same error with the nightly
build (3378) on 64-bit MacOSX. The path to the binary is:
/Applications/MNE-2.7.4-3378-MacOSX-x86_64/bin/mne_brain_vision2fiff if
that helps.

If I run the binary I get:

"mne_brain_vision2fiff version 1.7 compiled at Jun 4 2012 05:31:37"

whereas on Linux it's:

"mne_brain_vision2fiff version 1.9 compiled at Oct 6 2013 04:21:39"

So maybe the latest one isn't being compiled for the Mac release?

Thanks,

Erik

The Mac version is unfortunately out of date. I will update it.

The tar.gz version of the Mac 64-bit nightly is now up to date.
