[Eeglablist] Importing ACQ data files

[Graham Jamieson]

For some weeks I have been attempting to use eeglab to analyse BIOPAC 
proprietary data files with a .ACQ extension. BIOPAC is used to gather both 
human and animal EEG here at the University of New England. As a new post 
doc I am trying to promote the application of ICA and related tools to 
future analysis of this data (BIOPAC software is largely limited to simple 
spectral band power and averaging). My, as yet unsolved, initial problem is 
simply being able to import data from these files into eeglab. Amongst 
other things I attempted this with the biosig plugin without success. After 
contacting Alois at biosig he emailed me a zipped pre-release version of 
Biosig.071 which he suggested should do the job.
I extracted the contents to the plugins folder in eeglab and installed this 
version. Upon then attempting to import the .ACQ file through the biosig 
plugin in eeglab the command window reads:

Importing data
Warning: COLON arguments must be real scalars

Then an eeglab popup box appears with this error message:

Reference to nonexistent field 'NRec'


In the box,  Load data using BIOSIG  --pop_biosig()  I leave the channel 
list  empty (which I assume selects all channels by default) and leave 
Force data type at autodetect.
I would certainly appreciate any suggestions or assistance as to where I 
should go from here.

  Thanks

Graham
