None that I know of, and it probably wouldn't be easy. For one thing, matlab uses parentheses for function calls and indexing, and it is probably not always obvious which is which for a translator. One could write something that got it mostly right and flagged ambiguities, but I think you should expect that a human would have to clean it up afterwards unless you attempt something ambitious and not easy. Prove me wrong! > 2 - Is there a python/numpy/mpl equivalent of EEGlab? see: > http://www.sccn.ucsd.edu/eeglab/ There is pbrain, which is not and does not attempt to be an equivalent of EEGLab, but it is an EEG viewer/analysis package in python, which uses matplotlib (and VTK). It is specialized for spectral analysis, but could be extended to do other things. http://neuroimaging.scipy.org/pbrain/ I first wrote an EEG analysis package in matlab, and after becoming frustrated with the lack of good support for complex data structures, networking, and programming paradigms, I jettisoned it for python and wrote pbrain. I wrote matplotlib in support of the pbrain application, so some of the work has already been done :-) JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
