Currently, exporting to BrainVision creates an extra marker containing the meas_date. Usually, this datetime is stored as the first marker, which looks like this:
Mk1=New Segment,,1,1,0,20231207111507000000
Importing that file into MNE again therefore implies that there is an additional marker that was not present before. In addition, I think the reader parses the measurement date so that this marker is not necessary at all.
I'm not quite sure how to handle this situation, so I'd appreciate your input @sappelhoff @larsoner @drammock. I came up with the following options:
- Always ignore the first marker (if it is a
New Segment).
- Always ignore all markers of type
New Segment.
- Provide an option to ignore all
New Segment markers.
I think a transparent solution without an additional parameter would be nice, WDYT?
