phys2bids.io.load_gep

phys2bids.io.load_gep(filename)[source]

Populate object phys_input from GE physiological files.

Uses the filename that the user provides to find any matching inputs from other recording types (PPG, RESP, or ECG).

Note that the filename must not be altered from how it is output from the scanner.

Populates physio_obj with all identified recording types (note that one or more of these may not be true recordings as the scanner outputs all possible types in all cases). The modality corresponding to the filename entered by the user is put first (after time and trigger).

Parameters:: filename (str) – path to the GE scanner physiological file
Return type:: BlueprintInput

Note

GE physiological files do not record a trigger so a column is added at position 1. This has a value of zero up to the scan start time and then a value of one for the duration of the scan.
