mne.io.read_raw_eyelink failure: "adjust times" sub-function does not work/can't merge

Since these are simple text files, then yes one could, but this sounds very tedious! :slightly_smiling_face:

Here are two potential alternative ideas to get you unblocked while we figure this out:

option 1:

I have this python package that can read eyelink EDF files directly. The package includes a helper function that can convert the loaded object directly to MNE (I can give you directions if the documentation is unclear).

I was able to read in your problematic file with this package. However just a couple caveats to keep in mind:

  • This package requires the Eyelink Software Developers kit to be installed
  • I can’t provide as much support as MNE-Python typically does.
  • I’ve never tested this package on Windows…
option 2

Load the data into .mat structures with the MATLAB EDF-converter as you did before, save the .mat files, load them into python with pymatreader, and then convert them to MNE objects.

  • This option is also a little tedious and will require some custom code (speaking from experience). But since I’ve done this before I could provide you with some boiler plate code to work from.

What do you think?
