mffpy 0.3.0

Reader and Writer for Philips' MFF file format.

Introduction

mffpy is a lean reader for EGI's MFF file format. These files are directories containing several files of mostly xml files, but also binary files.

The main entry point into the library is class Reader that accesses a selection of functions in the .mff directory to return signal data and its meta information.

Installation

$ conda create -n mffpy python=3.6 pip
$ conda activate mffpy
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py install
$ # and to run the test
$ make test

Contribute

Definitely run:

$ pip install pre-commit
$ pre-commit install

Example Code

Example 1: Basic Information

import mffpy
fo = mffpy.Reader("./examples/example_1.mff")
print("time and date of the start of recording:", fo.startdatetime)
print("number of channels:", fo.num_channels)
print("sampling rates:", fo.sampling_rates, "(in Hz)")
print("durations:", fo.durations, "(in sec.)")
print("Here's the epoch information")
for i, e in enumerate(fo.epochs):
    print("Epoch number", i)
    print(e)

Example 2: Reading Samples

from mffpy import Reader
fo = Reader("./examples/example_1.mff")
fo.set_unit('EEG', 'uV')
eeg_in_mV, t0_EEG = fo.get_physical_samples_from_epoch(fo.epochs[0], dt=0.1)['EEG']
fo.set_unit('EEG', 'V')
eeg_in_V, t0_EEG = fo.get_physical_samples_from_epoch(fo.epochs[0], dt=0.1)['EEG']
print('data in mV:', eeg_in_mV[0])
print('data in V :', eeg_in_V[0])

Example 3: Reading .mff xml files

from mffpy import XML
categories = XML.from_file("./examples/example_1.mff/categories.xml")
print(categories['ULRN'])

Example 4: Writing random numbers into an .mff file

from os.path import join
from datetime import datetime
import numpy as np
from mffpy import Reader
from mffpy.writer import *

# write 256 channels of 10 data points at a sampling rate of 128 Hz
B = BinWriter(sampling_rate=128)
B.add_block(np.random.randn(256, 10).astype(np.float32))
W = Writer(join('examples', 'my_new_file.mff'))
startdatetime = datetime.strptime('1984-02-18T14:00:10.000000+0100',
        "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z")
W.addxml('fileInfo', recordTime=startdatetime)
W.add_coordinates_and_sensor_layout(device='HydroCel GSN 256 1.0')
W.addbin(B)
W.write()
