import.erp {erpR} | R Documentation |
Import a series of ASCII files with ERP data. Data are imported as a list containing a data frame for each imported file. The field separator character and the character used for decimal points may be specified by the parameters sep
and dec
, that are passed to the function read.table
, called by import.erp
.
import.erp(filenamebase, numbers, ext=".txt", outname = NULL, fileinfo=FALSE, timeinfo=FALSE, erplist = NULL, path=getwd(), electrodes="file", ...)
filenamebase |
a string indicating the beginning of the name of the .txt files containing the ERP data. |
numbers |
the numbers (indicating the subjects) of the files to be imported. |
ext |
A string indicating file extension. Default is ".txt" |
outname |
a string indicating the beginning of the name of the objects that will be created. |
fileinfo |
If |
timeinfo |
If |
erplist |
If an erplist is specified, then the imported files will be added to this erplist. |
path |
A string indicating the directory where the ASCII files are contained. Otherwise the files will be searched from the current working directory. |

The optional argument fileinfo
can be used to store some short information on the file. This is usually an ID for the Subject or the name of the original file from which the ASCII file has been exported (for example, if the files have been exported from eeglab, the name of the .set file). All objects that will be created from a file imported with import.erp
will keep this information as a comment
. Type comment(objectname)
to access this information. If fileinfo=FALSE
, the name of the file imported will be stored as a comment.
The timeinfo
option expects that absoulte time of trial (in the recording session), is stored after the string
Time =
(note the spacing).
A list containing several ERP data frames (one for each file imported).
