Hi All,

I am currently facing challenges with respect to processing mouse eeg data collected. Data files are in \*.acq file format after generation. I am able to convert them into .hdf5 file format using bioread package. And then I can create raw object using mne python. I can plot eeg data. My question is, for further analysis such as ICA, what is the montage to be used. Does mne support processing mouse eeg data. Do I need to get co-ordinates to create custom montage for ICA and further analysis. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

all built-in montages are for humans. So you would need to create a custom montage from measured sensor locations.

As long as you’re sticking to sensor-space analyses everything should work. See [Pipelines for Mouse Data Analysis in MNE-Python](https://mne.discourse.group/t/pipelines-for-mouse-data-analysis-in-mne-python/8414) for some issues that will come up if you want to do source estimation.
