mne.io.read_raw_persyst

mne.io.read_raw_persyst(fname, preload=False, verbose=None)

Reader for a Persyst (.lay/.dat) recording.

Parameters:

fnamepath-like

Path to the Persyst header .lay file.

preloadbool | str

Preload data into memory for data manipulation and faster indexing. If True, the data will be preloaded into memory (fast, requires large amount of memory). If preload is a string, it is the name of a freshly created memory-mapped file used to store the data on the hard drive (slower, requires less memory). An existing file is overwritten. The caller owns the file and is responsible for removing it after the Raw object is no longer in use.

verbosebool | str | int | None

Control verbosity of the logging output. If None, use the default verbosity level. See the logging documentation and mne.verbose() for details. Should only be passed as a keyword argument.

Returns:

rawinstance of RawPersyst

A Raw object containing Persyst data. See mne.io.Raw for documentation of attributes and methods.

Notes

It is assumed that the .lay and .dat file are in the same directory. To get the correct file path to the .dat file, read_raw_persyst will get the corresponding dat filename from the lay file, and look for that file inside the same directory as the lay file.
