Description

Describe the new feature or enhancement

OpenBCI cyton board is one of the popular tool used for collecting EEG data from brain. The EEG data collected from the cyton board are stored in txt format with the help of OpenBCI GUI. Currently, MNE doesn't have any dedicated reader for function for OpenBCI data. It would be helpful if there's a separate class containing methods for reading, visualizing the EEG data from OpenBCI cyton board.

Additional comments

You can find Sample dataset for Cyton Board - 8 channels(without diasy module) here
