Hello everyone,
My question is \*very\* basic (I think), but I could?t figure it out. I would like to know the number of events stored as annotations in my?raw?file. However, when I call the function?raw.annotations, I get the following:
raw = mne.io.read\_raw\_eeglab(raw\_fname)
raw.annotations
\
There are 7 event codes in total in my file, but I get to see only 3 of them. How can I see the total number of events for each code?
Thanks!

from collections import Counter
Counter(raw.annotation.description)
