[Eeglablist] The orientation of the data and the scale factor of a BDF file

[Andreas Widmann]

Hi Ayala,

the pop_bdfread function from here:
https://github.com/widmann/erptools/blob/master/pop_bdfread.m
returns a BDF header structure as third output argument if requested.

Note that EEGLAB’s pop_readbdf function shouldn’t be used anyway if you ever paused recording or CMS was out of range. See here for more details:

Hope this helps! Best,
Andreas
