BDF

Importing BDF files in R - Events and epoching

In the last post I loaded in some data from a BDF file and showed how to re-reference and high-pass filter it. Normally when running an EEG data we’ll have periods of interest that we want to extract from the recording, typically using triggers sent via a parallel cable or similar. Trigger events A Biosemi system can record up to 16 trigger inputs, representing the resulting numbers as 16-bit (i.

What I might have been less clear about is that it is not that is not possible, but that there isn’t really the wide range of pre-programmed tools as in Python and Matlab. So it’s just not practical to do it all in R as it stands.
