Dear Neelam,

>there is 3-4 file export option. but which one of my use...???

If you are thinking about exporting the channel EEG data, well... it
depends on what system you want to use to import those data, so I can't say
for sure. If you will import them using matlab-based application, then you
want to save them as .mat file, don't you?
