[Eeglablist] Importing Brain Vision Recorder data files automatically

[Andreas Widmann]

Hi Shingo,

you were already close. pop_loadbv needs the file path as first argument. In case of the current directory a '.' is sufficient. If you want to load the data into the GUI you will additionally need a pop_newset command. In case you continue processing on the command line/script this is not necessary.

Hope this helps! Best,
Andreas

allfiles = dir('*.vhdr');
for n=1:length(allfiles)
    loadName=allfiles(n).name;
    dataName=loadName(1:end-5)
    
    % Step2: Import data.
    EEG = pop_loadbv('.', loadName);
    %    EEG.setname = dataName;
    [ALLEEG EEG CURRENTSET] = pop_newset( ALLEEG, EEG, CURRENTSET, 'setname', dataName )
end

As many of you know, EEG data files by Brain Vision Recorder consist of three files with different suffixes, namely, eeg, vhdr, and vmrk. A pop-up menu appears and two clicks are required to import the vhdr file. Could anyone tell me the way to import multiple vhdr files automatically without a click. My batch codes at the beginning are as follows:
