[Eeglablist] Creating epochs with json files

[Cedric Cannard]

Hi,

You can import your EDF data with the Biosig toolbox:
File>Import Data> Using EEGLAB functions and plugins>From EDF

Then not sure how that would work out, but you can use jsondecode to import your events from your json file into Matlab. And then with a little bit of coding trasnfer the events into the EEG.event structure which is where EEGLAB stores that information. The column EEG.event.type refers to the name of the marker, and EEG.event.latency refers to the timepoint of the marker in ms. The EEG.event.urevent is filled out automatically by "EEG = eeg_checkset(EEG);" and this will make sure there are no obvious errors in the formatting of the structure.

There may be other easier ways/plugins I am not aware of.

The person I’m collaborating with on this project used python/mne scripting to import the data and calculate connectivity values between electrodes. The values seem very off to me (based on the literature), so I was hoping to run a sanity check in Matlab/EEGlab as I’m more familiar with this than python. I can’t figure out how to make the epochs however.
