class RawBrainVision(BaseRaw):
    """Raw object from Brain Vision EEG file.

    Parameters
    ----------
    vhdr_fname : str
        Path to the EEG header file.
    montage : str | None | instance of Montage
        Path or instance of montage containing electrode positions. If None,
        read sensor locations from header file if present, otherwise (0, 0, 0).
        See the documentation of :func:`mne.channels.read_montage` for more
        information.
    eog : list or tuple
        Names of channels or list of indices that should be designated
        EOG channels. Values should correspond to the vhdr file.
        Default is ``('HEOGL', 'HEOGR', 'VEOGb')``.
    misc : list or tuple of str | 'auto'
        Names of channels or list of indices that should be designated
        MISC channels. Values should correspond to the electrodes
        in the vhdr file. If 'auto', units in vhdr file are used for inferring
        misc channels. Default is ``'auto'``.
    scale : float
        The scaling factor for EEG data. Unless specified otherwise by
        header file, units are in microvolts. Default scale factor is 1.
    preload : bool
        If True, all data are loaded at initialization.
        If False, data are not read until save.
    response_trig_shift : int | None
        An integer that will be added to all response triggers when reading
        events (stimulus triggers will be unaffected). Use
        ``trig_shift_by_type={'response': ...}`` instead. If None, response
        triggers will be ignored. Default is 0 for backwards compatibility,
        but typically another value or None will be necessary.
        This is deprecated in 0.17 and will be removed in 0.18.
    event_id : dict | None
        Special events to consider in addition to those that follow the normal
        BrainVision trigger format ('###' with an optional single character
        prefix, e.g., "111", "S  1", "R128", "S 21"). If dict, the keys will be
        mapped to trigger values on the stimulus channel.
        Example: {'SyncStatus': 1, 'Pulse Artifact': 3}.
        If None or an empty dict (default), only BrainVision format events are
        added to the stimulus channel. Keys are case sensitive. "New Segment"
        markers are always dropped.
        This is deprecated in 0.17 and will be removed in 0.18.
    trig_shift_by_type: dict | None
        The names of marker types to which an offset should be added.
        If dict, the keys specify marker types (case is ignored), so that the
        corresponding value (an integer) will be added to the trigger value of
        all events of this type. If the value for a key is in the dict is None,
        all markers of this type will be ignored. If None (default), no offset
        is added, which may lead to different marker types being mapped to the
        same event id.
        This is deprecated in 0.17 and will be removed in 0.18.
    stim_channel : bool (default True)
        Add a stim channel from the events.

        .. warning:: This defaults to True in 0.17 but will change to False in

    """Reader for Brain Vision EEG file.

    Parameters
    ----------
    vhdr_fname : str
        Path to the EEG header file.
    montage : str | None | instance of Montage
        Path or instance of montage containing electrode positions.
        If None, sensor locations are (0,0,0). See the documentation of
        :func:`mne.channels.read_montage` for more information.
    eog : list or tuple of str
        Names of channels or list of indices that should be designated
        EOG channels. Values should correspond to the vhdr file
        Default is ``('HEOGL', 'HEOGR', 'VEOGb')``.
    misc : list or tuple of str | 'auto'
        Names of channels or list of indices that should be designated
        MISC channels. Values should correspond to the electrodes
        in the vhdr file. If 'auto', units in vhdr file are used for inferring
        misc channels. Default is ``'auto'``.
    scale : float
        The scaling factor for EEG data. Unless specified otherwise by
        header file, units are in microvolts. Default scale factor is 1.
    preload : bool
        If True, all data are loaded at initialization.
        If False, data are not read until save.
    response_trig_shift : int | None
        An integer that will be added to all response triggers when reading
        events (stimulus triggers will be unaffected). Use
        ``trig_shift_by_type={'response': ...}`` instead. If None, response
        triggers will be ignored. Default is 0 for backwards compatibility,
        but typically another value or None will be necessary.
        This was deprecated in 0.17 and will be removed in 0.18.
    event_id : dict | None
        Special events to consider in addition to those that follow the normal
        BrainVision trigger format ('###' with an optional single character
        prefix). If dict, the keys will be mapped to trigger values on the
        stimulus channel. Example: {'SyncStatus': 1, 'Pulse Artifact': 3}.
        If None or an empty dict (default), only BrainVision format events are
        added to the stimulus channel. Keys are case sensitive. "New Segment"
        markers are always dropped.
        This was deprecated in 0.17 and will be removed in 0.18.
    trig_shift_by_type : dict | None
        The names of marker types to which an offset should be added.
        If dict, the keys specify marker types (case is ignored), so that the
        corresponding value (an integer) will be added to the trigger value of
        all events of this type. If the value for a key is in the dict is None,
        all markers of this type will be ignored. If None (default), no offset
        is added, which may lead to different marker types being mapped to the
        same event id.
        This was deprecated in 0.17 and will be removed in 0.18.
    stim_channel : bool (default True)
        Add a stim channel from the events.

        .. warning:: This defaults to True in 0.17 but will change to False in
                     0.18 (when no stim channel synthesis will be allowed)
                     and be removed in 0.19; migrate code to use
                     :func:`mne.events_from_annotations` instead.

        .. versionadded:: 0.17
    verbose : bool, str, int, or None
        If not None, override default verbose level (see :func:`mne.verbose`
        and :ref:`Logging documentation <tut_logging>` for more).

    Returns
    -------
    raw : instance of RawBrainVision
        A Raw object containing BrainVision data.
