Dear Matti and MNE experts,

I intend to use the MNE program on analyzing EEG data for speech and  
voice perception. But I am not sure how to convert my EEG data to fif  
file.

My 64-channel EEG data were recorded in ANT (the Netherlands) , which  
can be converted to a number of other formats such as Neuroscan cnt  
format and EDF format. The original recording also included electrode  
position file and trigger file in text. Most EEG manufactures (including  
ANT) allows exporting data to EDF format:  
[http://www.edfplus.info/companies/companies.html](http://www.edfplus.info/companies/companies.html)  
It would be really nice for MNE to have a feature to convert standard  
EEG data format such as EDF into fiff format.

Thank you very much for your kind consideration.
