Hello mne\_analysis

I send e-mail one more time after mailing list

I research EEG using MNE library

It is so great for me

But recently, I have issue about format in MEN library

I use Neuroscan EEG system and some software (I don't remember this  
software name...)

That system and software support .edf format

But in MNE I just make .fif foramt as output file

Can I make .edf format as output file?

Or can I change .fif to .edf?

I hope this helps

Thanks

Hello Do Dae,

glad to head MNE is working well for you. Unfortunately, as you noticed,  
MNE can only save to .fif format. I don't know of any software package  
that can read .fif and save as .edf. Sorry.

best,  
Marijn.

Hi!

You could try pyedflib ([http://pyedflib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/](http://pyedflib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)) to write EDF files.
