Neurotec file format?

I’m looking for any information regarding the Neurotec file format.
Specifically, how the time the eeg was recorded is stored.
I do see times stored in the .idr file, but do not see the time for the start of the recording.

Thanks!

Not familiar with Neurotec (or most EEG acquisition systems for that matter), is it this brazilian manufacturer? https://www.neurotec.com.br/en/produtos/

A quick search for combinations of “eeg”, “neurotec” and “idr” hasn’t produced anything meaningful.

What do you mean when you say you see times stored in the file? Are you using official manufacturer software or some other means? Have you produced the file yourself (if yes, how?) or obtained it from a third party?

If you don’t have manufacturer software and the manufacturer’s file format specification is not public knowledge (which it often isn’t for formats used by commercial systems), then you essentially have two options:

  • Contact the manufacturer and try to obtain the necessary software from them
  • Analyze the file with a hex viewer and try to reverse engineer the relevant parts (this needs a fair amount of background knowledge on how information is typically represented in computer systems at the byte level)
