GDF to Vectors converter user guide ​

TIP

Tool for converting a GDF file into a series of vectors that can be further used in other applications (e.g. Time Series Builder).
To obtain more general information about working with applications within the Platform, see Applications Quick Start Guide.

KEYWORDS Data selection, Data extraction

CITATION If you use the results or visualizations retrieved from this application in a publication, then you must cite the data source as follows:

Step by Step ​

The application uses GDF files (uploaded from the episode data) as an input and allows the User to convert the GDF data into a set of vectors. From the 'Actions' tab within the GDF file view, the User may select 'Use in Application' option and then choose 'GDF to Vectors converter' to create the application. Once it is created, the User can extract any number of vectors of time and time–correlated attributes of their choice (Figure 1).

The application generates one file for each chosen property. These files might be used as input files e.g. to the Time Series Builder application that the User can use as a next.
