Hi all,  
I am trying to import an epoched dataset from EEGLAB to MNE python and I saw there is this function, however, when I insert the filename with the extension .set, an error occurs saying it requires a .mat file  
why is that? EEGLAB datasets save file .set and .fdt so why .mat?Am I doing anything wrong?

Thank you,Stefania

hi Stefania,

can you share the file?

maybe try to save the .set file with the -v6 option to save in old  
uncompressed matlab format.
