[Mne_analysis] Fwd: MNE support request

[Mark Williams]

Hi Matti,

I am still having issues using mne_kit2fif (see discussion below). I  
can't get the triggers to show up. I can open the original data on  
the KIT software and I can see the channels for the triggers fine.  
When I export it to txt and use the mne_kit2fif command I don't get  
any triggers. I tried using --add flag but this doesn't give me the  
triggers, just flat lines.

The triggers were on channels 176, 177, 178, 179, 180 and I added 1  
to each to convert to the mne system.

ANy suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mark
