    eog : list or tuple

    stim_channel : 'auto' | str | list of str | int | list of int
        Defaults to 'auto', which means that channels named 'status' or
        'trigger' (case insensitive) are set to STIM. If str (or list of str),
        all channels matching the name(s) are set to STIM. If int (or list of

                     annotations are stored in raw.annotations. Use
                     :func:`mne.events_from_annotations` to obtain events from
                     these annotations.

    exclude : list of str
        Channel names to exclude. This can help when reading data with
        different sampling rates to avoid unnecessary resampling.

    Notes
    -----
    Biosemi devices trigger codes are encoded in 16-bit format, whereas system
    codes (CMS in/out-of range, battery low, etc.) are coded in bits 16-23 of
    the status channel (see http://www.biosemi.com/faq/trigger_signals.htm).
    To retrieve correct event values (bits 1-16), one could do:

        >>> events = mne.find_events(...)  # doctest:+SKIP
        >>> events[:, 2] &= (2**16 - 1)  # doctest:+SKIP

    The above operation can be carried out directly in :func:`mne.find_events`
    using the ``mask`` and ``mask_type`` parameters (see
    :func:`mne.find_events` for more details).

    It is also possible to retrieve system codes, but no particular effort has
    been made to decode these in MNE. In case it is necessary, for instance to
    check the CMS bit, the following operation can be carried out:

        >>> cms_bit = 20  # doctest:+SKIP
        >>> cms_high = (events[:, 2] & (1 << cms_bit)) != 0  # doctest:+SKIP

    It is worth noting that in some special cases, it may be necessary to shift
    event values in order to retrieve correct event triggers. This depends on
    the triggering device used to perform the synchronization. For instance, in
    some files events need to be shifted by 8 bits:

        >>> events[:, 2] >>= 8  # doctest:+SKIP

    TAL channels called 'EDF Annotations' or 'BDF Annotations' are parsed and
    extracted annotations are stored in raw.annotations. Use
    :func:`mne.events_from_annotations` to obtain events from these
    annotations.

    If channels named 'status' or 'trigger' are present, they are considered as
    STIM channels by default. Use func:`mne.find_events` to parse events
    encoded in such analog stim channels.

    Notes
    -----
    It is worth noting that in some special cases, it may be necessary to shift
    event values in order to retrieve correct event triggers. This depends on
    the triggering device used to perform the synchronization. For instance, in
    some files events need to be shifted by 8 bits:

        >>> events[:, 2] >>= 8  # doctest:+SKIP

    TAL channels called 'EDF Annotations' are parsed and extracted annotations
    are stored in raw.annotations. Use :func:`mne.events_from_annotations` to
    obtain events from these annotations.

    If channels named 'status' or 'trigger' are present, they are considered as
    STIM channels by default. Use func:`mne.find_events` to parse events
    encoded in such analog stim channels.

                     these annotations.

    exclude : list of str
        Channel names to exclude. This can help when reading data with
        different sampling rates to avoid unnecessary resampling.

    Notes
    -----
    Biosemi devices trigger codes are encoded in 16-bit format, whereas system
    codes (CMS in/out-of range, battery low, etc.) are coded in bits 16-23 of
    the status channel (see http://www.biosemi.com/faq/trigger_signals.htm).
    To retrieve correct event values (bits 1-16), one could do:

        >>> events = mne.find_events(...)  # doctest:+SKIP
        >>> events[:, 2] &= (2**16 - 1)  # doctest:+SKIP

    The above operation can be carried out directly in :func:`mne.find_events`
    using the ``mask`` and ``mask_type`` parameters (see
    :func:`mne.find_events` for more details).

    It is also possible to retrieve system codes, but no particular effort has
    been made to decode these in MNE. In case it is necessary, for instance to
    check the CMS bit, the following operation can be carried out:

        >>> cms_bit = 20  # doctest:+SKIP
        >>> cms_high = (events[:, 2] & (1 << cms_bit)) != 0  # doctest:+SKIP

    It is worth noting that in some special cases, it may be necessary to shift
    event values in order to retrieve correct event triggers. This depends on
    the triggering device used to perform the synchronization. For instance, in
    some files events need to be shifted by 8 bits:

        >>> events[:, 2] >>= 8  # doctest:+SKIP

    TAL channels called 'BDF Annotations' are parsed and extracted annotations
    are stored in raw.annotations. Use :func:`mne.events_from_annotations` to
    obtain events from these annotations.

    If channels named 'status' or 'trigger' are present, they are considered as
    STIM channels by default. Use func:`mne.find_events` to parse events
    encoded in such analog stim channels.
