Hello:
While importing the EEG file .edf, this error shows up. I have attached the snapshot.
Any tips ?
Thank you,
Nirav
The number of signals read from your EDF file is incorrect, which most likely mean that this is not an EDF file, or that it was incorrectly saved. The Brainstorm reader can't make up for this error.
Can you read this file in any other program?

Hi Francois,
I have the same problem and could read the header - there is a 31622 where there should be a Am5. I do not know a possible reason.

I tried rewriting the header and replacing but same error. And I cannot read it from anywhere. The file was saved in a server, then retrieved and exported to an EDF format. Perhaps that can be the reason of a possible file damage.
Thank you very much in advance.
Have you tried to open the file with EDF browser?
Do you have access to the original file? If so, you could try to import that one directly in Brainstorm
Hi Raymundo. Thank you very much for your response. It is an EDF+C exported from Natus Neuroworks software. I cannot open from EDFbrowser - Separator character of startdate is not a dot (when opening) or - Invalid number of signals (less than 1) (when opening from header editor). I tried with MNE python and it also complains about the date. I can try to open the folder that Natus generates I need still to see how it looks like.
