Dear Peng,
You shouldn't save your covariance in a text file. Covariance object
contains headers/metadata
You should do:
import mne
epochs = mne.read_epochs(epochs_path)
# compute covariance
cov = mne.compute_covariance(epochs, tmax=0.)
# save covariance object
cov.save('my_file-cov.fif')
# read covariance object
cov = mne.read_cov(fname_cov)
Try following the website tutorials first:
http://martinos.org/mne/dev/auto_examples/io/plot_read_noise_covariance_matrix.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-io-plot-read-noise-covariance-matrix-py
http://martinos.org/mne/dev/faq.html#how-should-i-regularize-the-covariance-matrix
Best,
Jean-Rémi
