BrainVoyager EDU Access File (eduexdat.bin)

  • Only registered data files and other files derived from them can be accessed by BV EDU

  • An access file keeps track of which files can be accessed by BV EDU

  • Any new files that you generate from enabled files will be added to your access file

  • If you want to enable files generated by another user, you can get a file , eduexdat.bin, from them and add it to your files using File/Show EDU Datasets… then Add More Datasets then Browse to select the file on your computer

  • DO NOT CLICK “Clear Extra Datasets” unless you really know what you’re doing
