I have EEG data that I saved to EDF with MNE a long time ago (maybe 2 years ago). Reading that file back used to work, but I believe a regression/bug was introduced in #11952 . Specifically this block:
mne-python/mne/io/edf/edf.py
Lines 826 to 830 in d810cc5
This code logic assumed that patient hand info would be something like
"hand=1"
or"hand=2"
but in my case it was"hand=None"
which caused aValueError
because you cannot doint('None')
.What does this implement/fix?
This PR just wraps things in a try-except block to gracefully handle weird cases like mine.
Additional information
I really don't know much about the EDF format, so cc'ing @paulroujansky as the author of #11952. LMK if you think this looks reasonable to you!.
Also - Perhaps no change log necessary?
