mne_rename_channels
Overview
mne_rename_channels renames selected channels in a FIFF file using an alias mapping file. The file is modified in-place.
This is a C++ port of the original MNE-C tool by Matti Hämäläinen.
Usage
mne_rename_channels [options]
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--fif <name> | FIFF file to modify (required) |
--alias <name> | Alias file with channel name mappings (required) |
--revert | Swap old and new names (reverse the mapping) |
--help | Print help |
--version | Print version |
Description
This utility opens a FIFF file for in-place modification and renames channels based on an alias mapping file. Each line of the alias file has the format:
old_name:new_name[:kind]
Where kind is an optional channel type code. The --revert flag swaps the old and new names, which is useful for undoing a previous rename operation.
Example
# Rename channels according to alias file
mne_rename_channels --fif raw.fif --alias channel_aliases.txt
# Revert a previous rename
mne_rename_channels --fif raw.fif --alias channel_aliases.txt --revert
