EEGLAB SET
Format Overview
EEGLAB (UCSD Delorme & Makeig 2004) native format — .set for header
(MATLAB struct serialized to v7) + .fdt for continuous data binary.
Loader
Primary: mne.io.read_raw_eeglab(path).
Common Pitfalls
- MATLAB struct version drift —
.set files saved as MAT v7.3
(HDF5-based) vs v7 (proprietary MAT) handled differently; sometimes
needs mat73 package.
- ICA decomposition embedded —
.set carries EEG.icaweights;
preserve if porting to MNE / MNE-ICALabel.
EasyBCI Path
- load:eeglab_set
