Read FIF files possible? #79

Open skjerns opened 4 years ago

skjerns commented 4 years ago

Is there a reason why FIF files are not included yet in the data loading options?

I have a 306-channel-MEG recording, do you think it would be able to load in visbrain if I implement FIF support via mne (for displaying I would of course only display a selected range, but question is if I will get that far without it crashing)?

Hi @skjerns,

Sorry for the late reply. When we first created Visbrain we wanted to avoid including MNE as a dependency (which I now think was a bad idea), so that's probably why we didn't include the FIF format. But that could be a nice addition (and more generally using the mne.io.read_raw function to load any file format supported by MNE).

As per the channels, the max that I've ever loaded was ~100 (iEEG, full-night). I'm not super optimistic for the 300+ channels but let us know the outcome if you ever try!

Thanks
