Hi,

I am trying to use the standard 10-20 systems of EEG for the OpenBCI data that I have got by using this code

[ten\_twenty\_montage](https://mne.tools/dev/generated/mne.channels.DigMontage.html#mne.channels.DigMontage) = [mne.channels.make\_standard\_montage](https://mne.tools/dev/generated/mne.channels.make_standard_montage.html#mne.channels.make_standard_montage)(‘standard\_1020’)

However, **1**. I just don’t know how do I make sure that the CSV file that I have match with the sensor name that is listed there ?

**2.** How can I drop other sensors that I don’t have the data ? since OpenBCI gave me only 16 channels, then I only those 16 channels for my analysis

Thanks

Hi @ihgumilar - I’m glad you were able to solve it. Would you be able to post a quick summary of the solution and then mark your own reply as the “solution” for this forum thread?

→ That’d be a great help for any other user in the future, stumbling over this problem.

Thanks!

Hi @sappelhoff

Sorry for the late reply.

Kindly find the code below. Hope that can be helpful for others.

```python

# Create 16 channels montage 10-20 international standard
           ` montage = mne.channels.make_standard_montage('standard_1020')`
            # % Create info
            # Pick only 16 channels that are used in Cyton+Daisy OpenBCI
            
ch_names = ['FP1', 'Fp2', 'F7', 'F3', 'F4', 'F8', 'T7', 'C3', 'C4', 'T8', 'P7', 'P3', 'P4', 'P8', 'O1', 'O2']
            ch_types = ['eeg'] * 16
            info = mne.create_info(
                ch_names=ch_names,
                sfreq=125,
                ch_types=ch_types)
            info.set_montage('standard_1020', match_case=False)

```
