PR Description
Description:
This pull request addresses an issue encountered when using the write_raw_bids() command for OPM (Optically Pumped Magnetometer) data. The problem arises in the _channels_tsv() function, which throws a KeyError when attempting to access a key in the map_chs dictionary.
Error Details:
Issue Explanation:
The error occurs because the key _channel_type is not present in the map_chs dictionary. Specifically, when using any of the supported channel types for OPMs, _channel_type is set to 'mag' instead of 'megmag'. This discrepancy is due to the fact that get_coil_types() under mne_bids/pick.py does not include OPM channels.
Solution:
To resolve this issue, I expanded the list of supported OPM channels in get_coil_types():
This modification ensures that OPM channels are properly accounted for in _channel_type when using write_raw_bids().
