Currently, this section of the docs exists but is blank. New users might not understand how to view hidden folders, but @JohnGriffiths explained that this is done as part of an existing convention.

Location in Docs: https://neurotechx.github.io/eeg-notebooks/getting_started/loading_and_saving.html?highlight=saving#macos

Full Clarification for location on Mac:

You can find recording files for all experiments in a folder called .eegnb in the User's Home folder, as seen in the following screenshot.

I like the language already in place for the windows file location:

The default directory is found at the location C:\Users*USER_NAME*.eegnb an example of which is pictured below.

On Mac, the default directory is found at the location /Users/*USER_NAME*/.eegnb/, as seen in the picture below.

John suggests maybe just copying this data to the Documents folder.

It's still important for data to be stored in these hidden folders, as this is a standard used by applications.

@retiutut - do you need any help / pointers / discussion in implementing this?

I think there is enough info here to implement a solution. It might help for me to ask some questions later.

Maybe this involves:

  • Make a change to the Docs to clarify info
  • Making a change to the code in the eeg-nb command line script
