signals = np.random.rand(5, 256*300)*200 # 5 minutes of random signal
channel_names = ['ch1', 'ch2', 'ch3', 'ch4', 'ch5']
signal_headers = highlevel.make_signal_headers(channel_names, sample_frequency=256)
header = highlevel.make_header(patientname='patient_x', gender='Female')
highlevel.write_edf('edf_file.edf', signals, signal_headers, header)
