How to read .PTN File

Hello Guysm I have a file consists of a pattern for an EEG signal which has a file extension of .PTN. I want to know how to read .PTN file in matlab directly.Thanks

I do not seem to be finding EEG software that produces .ptn files, so I am having difficulty finding information about the file format.

EEG data in ptn format is produced by the EEG-1200 by Nihon Kohden. I can't find any way to convert.

https://www.researchgate.net/post/Do_you_have_experience_in_using_Nihon_Kohden_system_for_eeg hints that possibly EEGLAB might be able to read the files.

Thank you for the help! When I read that post I found out that EEG Lab only does .EEG files. When I went back into my files, I found that the original files were .EEG and it converted to .PTN when I exported it from the Nihon Kohden application. So then I just used this function that converts .EEG to .MAT instead of EEG Lab. I found it on this page https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_to_convert_eeg_file_to_mat_file_in_matlab. EEG Lab was super complex and I am a matlab beginner, so I decided not to download it, but it is a much more powerful solution and can do so much more.

You should post a copy of that as an Answer; I would vote for it.
