How to read data from .eeg file:

For the first time, you will need a virtualenv. To create it, go to the desired directory, and type in:

virtualenv venv

This will create a workspace for you to work in.

Once installed, everytime you want to activate it, navigate to the direcory where venv is, and type:

source venv/bin/activate

Once activated, you can start working.

Make a directory for the project, and initialize git:

git init

Once that is done, you need to do:

git remote add origin git@github.com:waleedasif322/Brain-EEG-data-Viz.git

Pull the latest code from GitHub. Now you need to copy the .EEG file and the .VHDR file I gave you on your flash drive in the new project folder.

Once you have pulled, you need to install the dependencies.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Since there is an error with the offical library that we use to read the binary data, you need to copy the file brainvisionio.py that you see in the folder, and replace it with the one that was installed by pip.

To do that, navigate to the folder where venv is located. Then type:

cd /venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/neo/io

You might have to modify this command if your python version is different.

Once you are in the io directory, replace the brainvisionio.py file with the one that I gave you in the original folder.

Once that is done, you can go back to the directory of the project. Once you are back, you can run:

ipython notebook

This will make it easier to work with the data.

Then load the file Untitled1.ipynb. Execute the commands from top to bottom. The script will take about 1GB of ram on your PC, so make sure you close other programs.

The code will probably crash at the end since I am still working on that right now.

To push your changes to git,

git add .

To commit changes that are staged:

git commit -m "put message here"

To push changes to GitHub:

git push origin [[your_branch_name_here]]

Whatever part of the project you are working on, make an issue on github. I am assigning issues to you guys right now. Once you push changes, if an issue is completed, close the issue on github or comment on it. This will send an email to everyone.

Once I merge everyone's changes, I will email to tell you guys to pull the latest changes:

git pull origin master

To make the above command work, you must commit your changes first. You might have to fix conflicts first, but I'll explain how to do that later.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
