Read_raw_eyelink failure: missing headpos data in file #12516
Comments
I think it's okay to turn this into a warning rather than an error. It's possible others have done it I suppose |
I haven't forgotten about this, just haven't figured out a fix for it yet (and I'm not sure there is a simple fix). It's difficult to figure out the channel names from the Eyelink file, when the file provides incorrect information about this (as in this case, it tells us head position channels are there, but they aren't.). My best idea right now is to let the user pass in the channel names themselves. I'll try to stop by the next office hours to discuss the issue. |
In other readers we have an https://mne.tools/stable/generated/mne.io.read_raw_edf.html maybe that would work? |
Thanks @larsoner , I'll try this out! |
Description of the problem
A researcher reported a problem with our eyelink reader and shared the problematic Eyelink file (ASCII).
There are 2 separate issues.
This file has an empty value for recording date/time, and our reader doesn't handle that gracefully.EDIT: The researcher actually manually removed the datetime from the ASCII file, so I think it's reasonable for us to continue assuming that EyeLink will write the datetime to the file.I'll try to open a fix this week.
