Getting averaging info from .fif files

Parse averaging information defined in Elekta Vectorview/TRIUX DACQ (data acquisition). Extract and average epochs accordingly. Modify some averaging parameters and get epochs.

Read raw file

Check DACQ defined averaging categories and other info

Extract epochs corresponding to a category



In [ ]:

    
cond = raw.acqparser.get_condition(raw, 'Auditory right')

Get epochs from all conditions, average

Make a new averaging category
