hdf5 file importing

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to move to python from matlab for EEG data analysis, but
unfortunatly I never really programmed in python. I'm writing to you
because I would like
to import the .hdf5 files (from g.nautilus EEG setup), but at the
momement I do not know exactly how to do that. Do you have any
experience with this kind of importing?

Sorry if this question sounds basic (i've seen on the web there are
several way to import .hdf5 files, but not a direct mne function to do
that), but I have not experience with python programming,

Thanks for your attention

Alessandro

hi,

you should try to get your data in a numpy array and then use:

let us know if you need more details.

To add a little bit more context - HDF5 is not a project-specific format,
so there would be no way for MNE to have a function that would read in an
arbitrary HDF5 file. HDF5 is kind of like a file/folder directory, but
stored in a single file.

You should look into a package called `h5py` and use it to explore the
files that are output by your script. Use it to find the data and relevant
information necessary to create the MNE data structures that Alex linked to.

Thanks a lot for your help, I'll work on your suggestions to make it works!

Best,
