Problem running mne.io.read_raw_cnt for AST EEG data

  • MNE version: 1.4.0
  • operating system: macOS Version 13.2.1 (22D68)

Hello, I am having trouble using MNE for my EEG data, which is a .cnt file (ANT). I used the mne.io.read_raw_cnt function, but it seems that there is an ascii problem. I’ve researched potential solutions and discovered that this problem has been encountered previously, but I haven’t been able to find a clear resolution.

The error I am receiving is as follows:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xac in position 3: ordinal not in range(128)

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or solutions if anyone has managed to resolve this issue before. Thank you in advance.
