[Eeglablist] Subject: Help Needed to Access/Convert Natus/DMS .eeg EEG Files

[Yousra Berrich]

I hope this message finds you well.

As an intern at the hospital, I am currently working with the DMS Natus
software. I found that it offers the option to export EEG recordings in
.EDF format. However, this feature requires a specific license. After
contacting the hospital’s administrative department, I was informed that
they do not possess the necessary license for this export functionality.

I attempted to export the EEG traces without any additional files, but
unfortunately, the resulting .eeg files are unreadable on my computer.

Please let me know if you have any advice or alternative solutions
regarding this issue.

Best regards,
