How to open FIFF file?
The main problem with Elekta Neuromag Data is that the FIFF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FIFF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FIFF file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install MNE Home
In this case, you should first verify that the MNE Home application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MNE Home in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file FIFF.
Programs to open FIFF file
Remember to download programs supporting FIFF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MNE Home with FIFF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FIFF file still does not use the MNE Home program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FIFF file with the MNE Home program.
Step 3. Update MNE Home to the latest version
If, despite the association of the MNE Home program with the Elekta Neuromag Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FIFF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The FIFF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FIFF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FIFF file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FIFF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FIFF files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FIFF file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FIFF except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FIFF to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
