[Eeglablist] Retreive detailed event info for EGI epoched recordings

[Jason Ralph]

We have the same problem.

There are 2 solutions:

*Solution #1*

1. Export .raw file.

2. Create a waveform tool to export events. Select relative time.

3. In Excel (or write a script), convert NetStation's funky time format to
seconds.milliseconds.
4. Import .raw file into EEGLAB
5. Import events into EEGLAB (import events from matlab array or text file)
Your formatted event text file must have the fields type and latency, but
you can add any additional fields desired.

If you need help, we have written scripts to semi-automate this process.


*Solution # 2*

1.  Purchase Amp Server Pro SDK from EGI for $8,000.  ASPSDK allows you to
capture EGI's data without using NetStation
2.  Acquire data directly into BCI2000 or Matlab  itself.
3.  Never use NetStation again!!!!


We've been using solution 1 for some time, but are seriously considering
solution 2.
