Gist to save a mne.io.Raw object to an EDF file using pyEDFlib | |
(https://github.com/holgern/pyedflib) | |
Disclaimer: | |
- Saving your data this way will result in slight | |
loss of precision (magnitude +-1e-09). | |
- It is assumed that the data is presented in Volt (V), | |
it will be internally converted to microvolt | |
- BDF or EDF+ is selected based on the filename extension | |
- Annotations preserved | |
Update: Since 2021, MNE also supports exporting EDF via edfio: | |

Hello, thank you very much for your reply. I have sent an email to the address provided. Thanks!
There was an Exception raised during the file you sent, as the date
wasn't set correctly, so the resulting file was just a leftover of an incomplete write. I changed the gist to raise an Exception explicitly and not just print it. It should work now. This was due to a bug in pyedflib, which I fixed now.

Thank you very much for your help, it works perfectly now!
Hi @skjerns! Thank you for this great gist, we've been using it a lot in my lab. If the option of integrating it directly into MNE ever comes back to the table (now that there is a native Python implementation), I'd be happy to vouch for it!
Just a quick comment on the code, wouldn't it make more sense to update the date
so that it starts at tmin
, and not meas_date
? Concretely, just adding a timedelta(seconds=tmin) to the date
datetime?
Thanks,
Raphael
The Python native implementation of edflib
is unfortunately extremely slow (I posted a benchmark here), up to 20x slower. So I don't think implementation in mne is going to come soon. But I see what I can do w.r.t this issue, as it seems to be a major feature lacking in mne
. It should be possible to speed up quite a bit, with knowing a bit of Python internals and bottlenecks.
good one for the tmin! I'll implement that. I actually never use this gist myself, so I rely on users to improve it :)
Hello, and thank you for your great job!
I have a little problem because when I convert a file using your method, it goes from 1h duration to 8h duration (probably related to the sample rate, which is transformed from 2048 to 256Hz somewhere in the process). However, I change absolutely nothing, I just load my .edf data (duration = 1h), use write_edf, load the new .edf data (duration = 8h).
Edit : I solved the problem by changing the following code. Basically I just changed the 'sample_rate' parameter into the ch_dict.
try:
ch_dict = {'label': mne_raw.ch_names[i],
'dimension': mne_raw._orig_units[keys[i]],
#'sample_rate': mne_raw._raw_extras[0]['n_samps'][i],
'sample_rate': mne_raw.info["sfreq"],
'physical_min': mne_raw._raw_extras[0]['physical_min'][i],
'physical_max': mne_raw._raw_extras[0]['physical_max'][i],
'digital_min': mne_raw._raw_extras[0]['digital_min'][i],
'digital_max': mne_raw._raw_extras[0]['digital_max'][i],
'transducer': '',
'prefilter': ''}
except:
ch_dict = {'label': mne_raw.ch_names[i],
'dimension': mne_raw._orig_units[keys[i]],
#'sample_rate': sfreq,
'sample_rate': mne_raw.info["sfreq"],
'physical_min': channels.min(),
'physical_max': channels.max(),
'digital_min': dmin,
'digital_max': dmax,
'transducer': '',

Hello, thanks a lot for this amazing script. I realize that the resulting file saved from this script will be in the folder which the original data is located. I wonder if there is any way we can change where the output file will be within the script. Thank you.

Hi, you can just set "fname" to the full path you want (folderpath/filename.edf) when you call the write_mne_edf() function.
Hi, thanks for your great work.
I'm trying to fit this code into mff
files, but I'm not sure what does channels *= 1e6
do. Can someone give more explanation? Thanks.
It is assumed that the data is passed from MNE is in Volts (see disclaimer of the function, this is default in MNE afaik), even though most values recorded with EEG are in the mV or uV range. However, as EDF+ is only using 16-bit precision, such small values easily lose much precision. Therefore values are converted from Volt to Microvolt, where less precision is lost. The physical dimension is then added to the EDF+ header, so it should load correctly. To be honest, now that I'm re-reading the code I'm struggeling myself to trust that this also works in cases where data is not EEG (e.g. with data in nT
like MEG). I haven't used MNE ever since, so I don't really know.
just use pyedflib
see here for use case examples https://github.com/holgern/pyedflib#highlevel-interface
Thanks @skjerns , but the labels? How could I introduce them? Thanks again!
you can add them as annotations
signals = np.random.rand(5, 256*300)*200 # 5 minutes of random signal
channel_names = ['ch1', 'ch2', 'ch3', 'ch4', 'ch5']
signal_headers = highlevel.make_signal_headers(channel_names, sample_frequency=256)
header = highlevel.make_header(patientname='patient_x', gender='Female')
annotations = [[0, 0, "Wake"], [30, 0, "S2"]] # format [onset, duration, description], I think time is in seconds or ms, I don't remember
header['annotations'] = annotations
highlevel.write_edf('edf_file.edf', signals, signal_headers, header)
likely some wrong values for digital min/max and physical min/max in EDF. Else just a display problem in EDFBrowser, try pressing '+' to increase the signals. However, this is not the place to get support for that - it has little to do with this blob.
Hi
I'm trying to open an edf in mne, edit it, and save result in a new file using your gist. Unfortunately, when I do:
write_mne_edf(EEG_raw, fname, picks=None, tmin=0, tmax=None,
overwrite=False)
console-->
saving to EDF_test, filetype 2
'name'
the resulting file is very small and its content is :
Error! C:\Python\Python38\EDF_test is not UTF-8 encoded
Saving disabled.
See Console for more details.
edf original:

Could you help me . Thanks in advance

I edited the gist, it should work now. (I also removed some patient-sensitive data from your post, please also remove the file from your google drive as it contains patient specific data that you're probably not allowed to share)
Dear Mr Kern
I updated the gist
original file without sensitive info:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kJKHQRE5FslZkm7RkOoZkVPZ1b7P_5bB/view?usp=sharing
but the result doesnot copy the data:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Sog6jkKrfLIOwFgNGAGlorYz2KHRhrs/view?usp=sharing
I cannot reproduce the problem.
raw = mne.io.read_raw('0651701_Copy (1).edf')
write_mne_edf(raw, 'test.edf')
I can read and save the file with no problems. Sorry, I will not be able to give individual support for specific problems that are not directly related to the gist.
Sure, I do it for fun and I'll find a way, thank you for your time, have a great day.

I am getting an os error when trying to save the preprocessed eeg data in EDF format. Earlier it worked. I am now unable to save the epoched eeg data into a folder in EDF format. Could you tell me how to solve this issue? I'm getting the error shown below
"OSError: The filename (/Users/sreelakshmiraveendran/Desktop/Research papersMAC/Python programming/out_data) for file type raw must end with .fif or .fif.gz"
You are not using the script, but probably raw.save()
, which is MNE buitlin. Also I have no idea what you are doing, please provide a context with code that reproduces the issue. This does not seem like an error in the script, but rather a general Python programming mistake.
The original file is edF file, now want to convert to BDF file format, can this library be used successfully?Thank you very much,My email is [email protected]
You can do so easily with pyedflib
. However, you will gain nothing from it, as your precision will be obviously capped by the EDF file.
EDF and BDF are the same file format with the difference of having 16 and 24 bits of precision.
import pyedflib
signals, sheads, header = pyedflib.highlevel.read_edf(filename)
pyedflib.highlevel.write_edf('out.bdf', signals, sheads, header)
you might need to manually alter the physical min/max in the signal headers of some channels. Sorry, cannot give any further help than this :-/
I realized that the smaller the original file I use the smaller the resulting file that is saved. But nomatter how big my original file is, the resulting file is always too small to be opened. When I called the function I called it this way
write_mne_edf(raw,'testfile.edf', overwrite=True)
. I wonder if I am not aware of some details from the script resulting in this error of getting an extremely small file.
