Supported data formats
======================
.. NOTE: part of this file is included in doc/overview/implementation.rst.
Changes here are reflected there. If you want to link to this content,
link to :ref:`data-formats`. The next line is
a target for :start-after: so we can omit the title above:
data-formats-begin-content
When MNE-Python loads sensor data, the data are stored in a Python object of
type :class:`mne.io.Raw`. Specialized loading functions are provided for the
raw data file formats from a variety of equipment manufacturers. All raw data
input/output functions in MNE-Python are found in :mod:`mne.io` and start
with :samp:`read_raw_{*}`; see the documentation for each reader function for
more info on reading specific file types.
As seen in the table below, there are also a few formats defined by other
neuroimaging analysis software packages that are supported (EEGLAB,
FieldTrip). Like the equipment-specific loading functions, these will also
return an object of class :class:`~mne.io.Raw`; additional functions are
available for reading data that has already been epoched or averaged (see
table).
.. NOTE: To include only the table, here's a different target for :start-after:
