Hi Fengji,<br><br>If I understand correctly, this is not an EEGLAB-related problem but I may be able to offer some advice. Importing behavioral data from .dat into Neuroscan is done using the "Merge task data" transform in Neuroscan EDIT, but this program is very picky about the format of the .dat file. In particular, it seems to require that the .dat file is space-delimited, not tab-delimited, like the following:<br>
<br>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="272"><colgroup><col style="width:204pt" width="272">
</colgroup><tbody><tr style="height:12.75pt" height="17">
<td style="height:12.75pt;width:204pt" height="17" width="272">Trial<span style> </span>Resp<span style>
</span>Type<span style> </span>Correct<span style> </span>Latency</td>
</tr>
<tr style="height:12.75pt" height="17">
<td style="height:12.75pt" height="17">-----<span style> </span>----<span style>
</span>----<span style> </span>-------<span style> </span>-------</td>
</tr>
<tr style="height:12.75pt" height="17">
<td style="height:12.75pt" height="17">1<span style>
</span>Button2<span style> </span>1<span style> </span>1<span style>
</span>1959.64</td>
</tr>
<tr style="height:12.75pt" height="17">
<td style="height:12.75pt" height="17">2<span style>
</span>0<span style> </span>5<span style> </span>0<span style>
</span>0</td>
</tr>
<tr style="height:12.75pt" height="17">
<td style="height:12.75pt" height="17">3<span style>
</span>Button2<span style> </span>3<span style> </span>1<span style>
</span>882.55</td>
</tr>
<tr style="height:12.75pt" height="17">
<td style="height:12.75pt" height="17">4<span style>
</span>0<span style> </span>5<span style> </span>0<span style>
</span>0</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table><br>(notice that the characters in between the columns are spaces rather than tabs.)<br><br>I'm not sure if this is the issue that's causing you to get an error, but we've had similar problems in the past and this is what we had to do.<br>
