Resting state recordings from the OMEGA database not importing


Hello i have downloaded the ds000247 file from the aws server according to the tutorial resting omega and the files cannot be imported (please see error picture) is there a way to fix this error? However when the download finished the downloaded file was not a .zip file does this matter?

Thank you for viewing.

Hi Gregory,

Our BIDS importer requires parsing JSON files, which is not something Matlab supports in versions prior to R2016b. Since the other popular external JSON parser in Matlab required compilation, I went ahead and wrote our own simplistic version in pure Matlab. It crashed here because it did not support lists in sub-structures. Thank you for reporting the issue, I have fixed this in the following commit: https://github.com/brainstorm-tools/brainstorm3/commit/a41de80e9bd966f15d5cfb016b81cbb072d71be4

I do recommend you update your Matlab version if possible so that you can make use of its native JSON parsing to avoid issues in the future.

Cheers,
Martin
