External Email - Use Caution Dear MNE users, Planning to do simultaneous EEG-fNIRS, members of our lab were hoping to use MNE for fNIRS analysis. As a general inquiry, I was wondering what the general status was on MNE support for fNIRS. Perhaps I should make a more specific inquiry. We own a NIRx system and thus use nirsLAB to record data. When using nirsLAB version 15.2 we were able to load data just fine using mne.io.read\_raw\_nirx(). However, having to update to nirsLAB 15.3 revokes our ability to load data. It seems that MNE only supports nirsLAB versions 15.0 and 15.2. Is there a trivial way to make MNE compatible with nirsLAB 15.3? Thank you, Dylan Mann-Krzisnik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

External Email - Use Caution Hi Dylan, Super interested to see MNE support NIRS too. Do you know where the file format changes might be documented and would you be able to make a 15.3 test file available? Maybe the MNE developers know more about this but that would be very helpful for updating the io function. Cheers, -Morgan ---

External Email - Use Caution That sounds about right -- having a tiny test file (1-2 sec?) with documentation of how the recording was configured would be great. Can you open an issue on the MNE-Python issue tracker so we can discuss details there?
