A fruitful source of input data for parameter automation are text files. Such files can contain various pieces of information, such as statistics of the weather (temperature) for a century, solar activity forecast, or recordings of human body motion captured by depth cameras. By parsing data from these files and using it as values for a project's parameters, we can obtain quite an interesting (and scientifically meaningful) parameter's automation.

Let's demonstrate it by parsing the eeg.txt text file containing a 128-channel electroencephalography (EEG) recording. This file is contained in the archive provided with the book.
