mne.datasets.spm_face.data_path

mne.datasets.spm_face.data_path(path=None, force_update=False, update_path=True, download=True, verbose=None)[source]

Get path to local copy of spm dataset.

Parameters:

path : None | str

Location of where to look for the spm dataset. If None, the environment variable or config parameter MNE_DATASETS_SPM_DATA_PATH is used. If it doesn’t exist, the “~/mne_data” directory is used. If the spm dataset is not found under the given path, the data will be automatically downloaded to the specified folder.

force_update : bool

Force update of the spm dataset even if a local copy exists.

update_path : bool | None

If True, set the MNE_DATASETS_SPM_DATA_PATH in mne-python config to the given path. If None, the user is prompted.

download : bool

If False and the spm dataset has not been downloaded yet, it will not be downloaded and the path will be returned as ” (empty string). This is mostly used for debugging purposes and can be safely ignored by most users.

verbose : bool, str, int, or None

If not None, override default verbose level (see mne.verbose()).
Returns:

path : str

Path to spm dataset directory.
