I get the error: “TypeError: ‘int’ object is not iterable”.I am not sure where I could be making a mistake.  
my mne version is 1.3.1  
windows 11  
these are my codes:  
import mne  
import numpy as np  
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
from scipy import stats  
import pickle  
import pymatreader  
import mffpy  
#single sub evoked  
eeg1 = mne.io.read\_epochs\_eeglab(‘1\_LH.set’)

@lucas Hi, thanks for posting. I am not completely familiar with `eeglab` data. But just looking at the **traceback** that says the API doesn’t expect an `int`object. Can you try rename your epochs file i.e., remove the ‘int’ (1) part and try to load the data again if that works? Note, I assume you have provided the full-path of your data file to load the data and not a part of it.

best,

Thanks for your reply, I try this way. But I also can not run the code! It’s a pity! If the code don’t run ,I can not continue the flowling work.And my English is poor,so hope that you don’t mind!
