starting with openvibe

Post by Lorena »

Hello, I am starting to use OpenVibe, but I don´t have GDF files.Is there any website where I can download files in that format?

What do I need to get my own EEG files in that format?

Thank you!

Hi Lorena and welcome on board !

Openvibe can read various data files (GDF, EDF, BCI2000 dat, CSV, etc.).
When you download openvibe, you have several examples available in share/openvibe-scenarios. Check the documentation page for more details about the given scenarios.

We also provide some data file as a part of a motor imagery experiment we did few years ago.
<http://openvibe.inria.fr/datasets-downloads/>
These are in CSV format.

Your own GDF files are using which format ?

Thank you Laurent,

I downloaded the datasets in CSV format, but when I want to open them with openvibe, I only see the option CSVwriter, but not a CSVReader. Is there another tool I should use to open the file?

I don't have GDF files, I could export my files to EDF, but I don't know how to read that format (I have the same problem than with the CSV files, I see the EDFwriter, but not the reader)

Thanks!

Hi,

As specified in the documentation page, the CSV Reader box is marked as unstable. It means the original developer thinks the box has some unexpected behavior or bugs, and its structure may change in future.

You can still use this box, by allowing unstable boxes in the openvibe designer.

Modify your configuration file :

Code: Select all

Designer_ShowUnstable = True
We know it's not very user-friendly :)
We'll try to add the functionnality directly in the Designer in the future.
