Imports European Data Formatted (EDF) data and converts it to the EEGLAB format, including sample rate, timestamps, electrode labels and coordinates, event markers, etc.
Compatible with EDF-/EDF+/EDF+C/EDF+D data formats.
Detects unstable sampling rate, among other signal deficiencies, and reports errors.
- MATLABR2020b or later
- EEGLAB
- MATLAB's Signal Processing Toolbox for the edfread function
