Pymef is a wrapper library for Multiscale Electrophysiology Format developed by MSEL laboratory.

Currently available for all major distributions (Linux, Mac OS, Windows). Only python 3 is supported.

• Support for parallelisation of signal processing
• Data compression
• Data encryption
• Real-time read/write, failure when writing file leaves intact valid files
• CRC functionality to detect data corruption
• Support for time discontinuities
• Support for time series and video channels

• MEF3 files write/read
• Convenience functions to easily read data and metadata for multiple channels

To install please use:

pip install pymef

To install from source:

python setup.py install

from pymef.mef_session import MefSession

session_path = '/path/to/session.mefd'
password     = 'mef_password'          // leave blank if no password

# read session metadata
ms = MefSession(session_path, password)

# read data of a single channel from beginning to end
data = ms.read_ts_channels_sample('Ch01', [[None, None]])

# read data of multiple channels from beginning to end
data = ms.read_ts_channels_sample(['Ch01', 'Ch05'], [[None, None]])
