Hello, I'm new to MNE and having a problem importing data, I seem to lose my triggers. The original EEG data is in Biosemi's .bdf format and looks fine, and I've converted it to .fif using mne\_edf2fiff. When I open the file with mne\_browse\_raw using 'Status' as trigger channel, the program claims to find a reasonable amount of events. However, the 'Status' channel looks empty, as is the event list from 'Windows -\> Show event list'. From the print 'max\_event: 0' it sounds like the values are somehow missing? mne\_browse\_raw --raw tmp.fif --digtrig Status ... Scanning Status for triggers...[done] 3229 events found in tmp.fif Trigger channel : Status max\_event : 0 Thanks for any ideas, Suvi
