After choosing a dataset, isolate the raw EEG data from the metadata and other contextual information about the experiment. Download the raw EEG data onto your device (common data formats used to store EEG data: .bdf, .cnt, .mff, .edf).
Here is a list of all the data formats BESA supports.
Import the file into BESA by clicking “Open…” under the file tab, and choosing the desired file.
*Note: Certain files must be manipulated in order to be imported into BESA and require third party file converters. Files exclusively containing metadata can’t be opened in BESA (usually .json, .csv, .txt, and .tsv files)
