External Email - Use Caution Hi, I'm running some tests with the EEGBCI \<[https://physionet.org/content/eegmmidb/1.0.0/](https://physionet.org/content/eegmmidb/1.0.0/)\> dataset \<[https://physionet.org/content/eegmmidb/1.0.0/](https://physionet.org/content/eegmmidb/1.0.0/)\>, the database format is EDF and I'm using version 0.19.2 of mne-python. I'm trying to make an ICA, the problem is that when I call the method: ica.plot\_properties(raw, picks=[0, 1]) I get this error back in the console: WARNING:root:Did not find any electrode locations (in the info object), will attempt to use digitization points instead. However, if digitization points do not correspond to the EEG electrodes, this will lead to bad results. Please verify that the sensor locations in the plot are accurate. I probably have to load the montage. How do I do that? I tried to look carefully at the documentation but I didn't reach a conclusion. Could someone help me? Thank you for your support, Francesco Mattioli I'm trying to work without distractions. If I do not respond immediately, drink a cup of tea and be patient. Great ideas need deep work! ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

External Email - Use Caution hi, if you go this page at the bottom you'll see all examples that use this dataset: [https://mne.tools/stable/generated/mne.datasets.eegbci.load\_data.html](https://mne.tools/stable/generated/mne.datasets.eegbci.load_data.html) you'll see that one example makes topographies. [https://mne.tools/stable/auto\_examples/decoding/plot\_decoding\_csp\_eeg.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-decoding-plot-decoding-csp-eeg-py](https://mne.tools/stable/auto_examples/decoding/plot_decoding_csp_eeg.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-decoding-plot-decoding-csp-eeg-py) at the bottom you'll see it uses a layout. Now if you switch to current code version it will use set\_montage.

External Email - Use Caution I think he will have the same problem as me with sfp for montage. ---

External Email - Use Caution Thank you for your help. The code you suggested is from another version of mne-python (0.20.dev0), I'm using 0.19.2. Do you suggest to upgrade the library to version 0.20.dev0? Regards, Francesco Mattioli I'm trying to work without distractions. If I do not respond immediately, drink a cup of tea and be patient.

External Email - Use Caution hi, I gave you 2 links.

External Email - Use Caution Thank you for your patience. In this code a layout is loaded i, on the other hand, have to load a montage. If I go to the third link you sent in the first email, the syntax used is this one: eegbci.standardize(raw) # set channel names montage = make\_standard\_montage('standard\_1020') raw.set\_montage(montage) The output is: File "\", line 4, in \     eegbci.standardize(raw) # set channel names AttributeError: module 'mne.datasets.eegbci' has no attribute 'standardize' Do you have any suggestion?

External Email - Use Caution I have already tried, that does not solve my problem, I have to apply an ICA and display the independent components on the scalp. With the function: ica.plot\_properties(raw, picks=[x,y]) But when i run I get this error back in the console: WARNING:root:Did not find any electrode locations (in the info object), will attempt to use digitization points instead. However, if digitization points do not correspond to the EEG electrodes, this will lead to bad results. Please verify that the sensor locations in the plot are accurate.
