mne_fix_mag_coil_types

Overview

mne_fix_mag_coil_types fixes magnetometer coil type definitions in FIFF files. It replaces deprecated coil types with their correct modern counterparts.

This is a C++ port of the original MNE-C tool by Matti Hämäläinen.

Usage

mne_fix_mag_coil_types [options] <file> [file ...]

Options

One or more FIFF files are given as positional arguments.

Description

Some older Vectorview MEG data files contain incorrect magnetometer coil type definitions (FIFFV_COIL_VV_MAG_T1). This tool replaces them with the correct type (FIFFV_COIL_VV_MAG_T3) and sets FIFFV_COIL_NONE for non-MEG/EEG channels.

The files are modified in-place.

With the --magnes flag, the tool also corrects Magnes WH magnetometer coil types.

Example

# Fix coil types in one or more files
mne_fix_mag_coil_types raw.fif

# Also fix Magnes WH types
mne_fix_mag_coil_types --magnes raw.fif ssp.fif
