I have been inspired by these earlier projects, but ended up implementing from scratch based on [BrainVoyager file formats documentation](https://support.brainvoyager.com/brainvoyager/automation-development/84-file-formats).\n\n\n### File format support overview\n\n| File format | Read  | Write | Create |Test data|\n| ------------|-------|-------|--------|---------|\n| FMR \u0026 STC   | Yes   | Yes   | Yes    |       No|\n| DMR         | Yes   | No    | No     |       No|\n| GLM         | wip...| No    | No     |      Yes|\n| GTC         | Yes   | Yes   | No     |       No|\n| MAP         | wip...| No    | No     |       No|\n| MDM         | Yes   | Yes   | Yes    |       No|\n| MSK         | Yes   | Yes   | No     |       No|\n| MTC         | Yes   | Yes   | Yes    |      Yes|\n| OBJ         | No    | Yes   | No     |       No|\n| POI         | Yes   | Yes   | No     |      Yes|\n| PRT         | Yes   | Yes   | No     |       No|\n| ROI         | Yes   | No    | No     |       No|\n| SRF         | Yes   | wip...| No     |      Yes|\n| SMP         | Yes   | Yes   | Yes    |      Yes|\n| SSM         | Yes   | No    | No     |       No|\n| SDM         | Yes   | Yes   | Yes    |      Yes|\n| TRF         | No    | No    | No     |       No|\n| V16         | Yes   | Yes   | Yes    |       No|\n| VMP         | Yes   | Yes   | Yes    |      Yes|\n| VMR         | Yes   | Yes   | Yes    |      Yes|\n| VOI         | Yes   | Yes   | No     |      Yes|\n| VTC         | Yes   | Yes   | Yes    |      Yes|\n\n## Dependencies\n\n| Required | Package                               | Tested version |\n| ---------|---------------------------------------|----------------|\n| Yes      | [Python 3](https://www.python.org/)   | 3.7.8          |\n| Yes      | [NumPy](http://www.numpy.org/)        | 1.17.2         |\n| No       | [NiBabel](https://nipy.org/nibabel/)  | 3.2.0          |\n\n## Installation\n### Easy way\n```\npip install bvbabel\n```\n\n### Alternative way\n1.
