Hi. I want to know how I can plot the marker data from an EDF file in MatLab.
So I use edfread to convert the EDF file :
[header, data] = edfread('Subject1.edf');
and then I get the below after typing in header
ver: 0
patientID: '1 '
recordID: '1 '
startdate: '11.07.16'
starttime: '07.52.30'
bytes: 9472
records: 948
duration: 1
ns: 36
label: {1x36 cell}
transducer: {1x36 cell}
units: {1x36 cell}
physicalMin: [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]
physicalMax: [1x36 double]
digitalMin: [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]
digitalMax: [1x36 double]
prefilter: {1x36 cell}
samples: [1x36 double]
the marker is in label, so I access it by typing in
header.label
which gives me the below
>> hdr.label
ans =
Columns 1 through 13
'COUNTER' 'INTERPOLATED' 'AF3' 'F7' 'F3' 'FC5' 'T7' 'P7' 'O1' 'O2' 'P8' 'T8' 'FC6'
Columns 14 through 24
'F4' 'F8' 'AF4' 'RAW_CQ' 'CQ_AF3' 'CQ_F7' 'CQ_F3' 'CQ_FC5' 'CQ_T7' 'CQ_P7' 'CQ_O1'
Columns 25 through 34
'CQ_O2' 'CQ_P8' 'CQ_T8' 'CQ_FC6' 'CQ_F4' 'CQ_F8' 'CQ_AF4' 'CQ_CMS' 'CQ_DRL' 'GYROX'
Columns 35 through 36
'GYROY' 'MARKER'
hdr.label{end} returns the marker string, but I want to know how I can view the values of markers and possibly even plot them.

The values are strings. So what does it mean to plot strings? You can display the strings using the text() function - maybe that's what you want.

Perhaps you want to use them as legend entries?
