Project description

mne-qt-browser

This repository hosts the code for an alternative backend for plotting 2D-Data with MNE-Python.

The backend is based on pyqtgraph which uses Qt's Graphics View Framework for the plotting. Development started as a 2021's Google Summer of Code Project. Currently, only Raw.plot() is supported. For the future support for Epochs and ICA-Sources is planned.

Import mne-python

import mne

To use the new backend, set pyqtgraph as backend with

mne.viz.set_browser_backend("pyqtgraph")

or to set it permanently with

mne.set_config('MNE_BROWSE_BACKEND', 'pyqtgraph')

Then load and plot your Raw-data, e.g. by using:

raw = mne.io.read_raw("path to your data")
raw.plot(block=True)

If you want to try the browser with the sample-dataset from mne-python, run mne-qt-browser from the terminal.
