I know that the edf file uses the read\_raw function. By the way, how do you do the fif file?

Where do i get it?

# Read the EDF

raw =mne.io.read\_raw\_edf()

# Save as `fif` {[source](https://mne.tools/stable/generated/mne.io.Raw.html#mne.io.Raw.save)}

raw.save(‘some\_name.fif’)

or, if you want to read the `fif`

raw = [mne.io.read\_raw\_fif](https://mne.tools/stable/generated/mne.io.read_raw_fif.html#mne.io.read_raw_fif)([sample\_data\_raw\_file](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str))
