Support for Nexus amplifiers (MindMedia) #6666

Open tamalotes opened 4 years ago

tamalotes commented 4 years ago

Describe the problem

The Nexus amplifier formats are not supported.

Describe your solution

Support Nexus supported file formats which are: .mbd and .bcd.

Describe possible alternatives

A format translator from Nexus format to a supported format.

Additional context

I am not familiar with the Nexus file formats. I will continue to search if there is any documentation or plugin to these formats that helps with the support and possible implementation.

based on this webpage and this PDF (page 62 and following) it looks like the MindMedia BioTrace software can export EDF format. If you have access to BioTrace that would be the quickest solution since MNE-Python can already read EDF. Otherwise you may need to contact MindMedia to get a description of the mbd and bcd file formats, since they don't seem to be described on their website or in the device or software manuals.
