Script for Analyzing 10-20 standard EDF

[gabrams (Gabe)]

Hello.

I was curious if anyone had a script they wouldn’t mind sharing for preprocessing and analyzing edf files. I am struggling as edf files do not inherently come with the electrode positions. I am running on a standard 10-20 electrode set-up and I cannot find a good script.

Hello @gabrams,

this question is too broadly phrased, as there is an almost infinite number of ways to analyze EEG data. I understand that your main issue is related to electrode positions. Since you’re using a standard montage, just apply one of those that ships with MNE. I think this thread will contain all the info you need:

Issue with setting a montage

This has nothing to do with the input format: once the data is loaded into MNE, it’s essentially all the same, no matter if the data was originally stored as an EDF or FIFF or BrainVision file on disk. Once you’ve loaded your raw data, you can use Raw.rename_channels() to fix the channel naming. The method accepts a “callable” (i.e., a function) as first parameter. So let’s write a small function to clean up the channel names for you: def rename_channel_to_standard( orig_name: str ) -> str…
