Class SensorLocations

source code


Base class for sensor location readers.

Each subclass should provide x, y, z coordinates via the pos_x, pos_y, and pos_z attrbibutes.

Axes should follow the following convention:

x-axis: left -> right y-axis: anterior -> posterior z-axis: superior -> inferior

__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
(Constructor)

source code 
Pass arguments to ColumnData.
Parameters:
  • source - If values is given as a string all data is read from the file and additonal keyword arguments can be sued to customize the read procedure. If a dictionary is passed a deepcopy is performed.
  • header - Indicates whether the column names should be read from the first line (header=True). If header=False unique column names will be generated (see class docs). If header is a python list, it's content is used as column header names and its length has to match the number of columns in the file.
  • sep - Separator string. The actual meaning depends on the output format (see class docs).
  • headersep - Separator string used in the header. The actual meaning depends on the output format (see class docs).
  • dtype - Desired datatype(s). Datatype per column get be specified by passing a list of types.
  • skiplines - Number of lines to skip at the beginning of the file.
Returns:
new empty dictionary

Overrides: object.__init__

locations(self)

source code 
Get the sensor locations as an array.
Returns:
(nchannels x 3) array with coordinates in (x, y, z)
