        If True include CTF / 4D reference channels. If 'auto', the reference
        channels are only included if compensations are present. Can also be
        the string options from `meg`.
    misc : bool
        If True include miscellaneous analog channels.
    resp : bool

        If True include continuous HPI coil channels.
    exci : bool
        Flux excitation channel used to be a stimulus channel.

        Bio channels.
    ecog : bool
        Electrocorticography channels.
    fnirs : bool | str
        Functional near-infrared spectroscopy channels. If True include all
        fNIRS channels. If False (default) include none. If string it can be
        'hbo' (to include channels measuring oxyhemoglobin) or 'hbr' (to
