Quickstart: mkh5 to MNE

The sample data is a single subject mkh5 data file for an auditory oddball paradigm.

FYI … environment and versions. The MNE browser backend is set for generating these docs.

import os
import mne
import mkpy
from mkpy.io import mkh5mne

mne.viz.set_browser_backend("matplotlib")

print("conda env", os.environ["CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV"])
for pkg in [mkpy, mne]:
    print(pkg.__name__, pkg.__version__)

Out:

conda env env_3.8
mkpy 0.2.7
mne 1.0.3

mkh5mne.from_mkh5()

Import an mkh5 file into the MNE ecosystem

  • MNE requires electrode locations. Include them in .yhdr YAML file when creating the mkh5 data or add them when converting to MNE as shown here. The apparatus map format is the same.

  • Adding garv annotations is optional but enables the MNE automatic rejection option for creating epochs.

mne_raw = mkh5mne.from_mkh5(
    "../mkh5_data/sub000p3.h5",  # file to convert
    apparatus_yaml="mne_32chan_xyz_spherical.yml",  # electrode locations
    garv_annotations={
        "event_channel": "ms1500",  # annotate events on this channel
        "tmin": -750,
        "tmax": 750,
        "units": "ms",
    },
)

Out:

../mkh5_data/sub000p3.h5

Gotcha: mne.find_events() IS UNSAFE

Warning

Use mkh5 data use mkh5mne.find_mkh5_events() to create MNE event arrays. DO NOT use the native MNE mne.find_events() the results may be incorrect.

Various MNE raw data methods including plotting and epoching ingest a 3-column event_array of [sample, 0, event] that says where (column 0) and what (column 2) the events are.

The event array data format is sound and processing event arrays is reliable.

Unfortunately the native MNE event lookup utility mne.find_events() for creating event arrays from event channels forcibly converts negative events to positive.

Te .crw/.log/mkh5 data format routinely uses negative event codes for pause marks, data errors, and manually logpoked negative event codes. Changing the sign to positive folds them back back into the experimental event code range and creates creates spurious events.
