Hi,

I have ".edf " file and another file in “.annot”. Would you mind helping me how to sync those files. I checked the .annnot file is like this. AS you can see at some point one section of data have two annotations like following:

|N1|.|.|23:17:37|23:18:07|.|
|apnea|obstructive|.|23:17:42|23:18:21|.|
|desat|.|.|23:18:02|23:18:47|.|

The only way I can think of is to look over the entries on your .annot file “manually” and create an mne.Annotations object from them: mne.Annotations — MNE 1.6.1 documentation
