A student has come to me with what appears to be corrupted data from a single experimental participant, we think its likely to be the case that it occurred due to her running the session from a USB but we can’t confirm that for obvious reasons.
I have warned her that she would likely have to discard the data, but i figured i would ask here as a long shot - is there was any conceivable way to recover the data?
The first few lines of the data file look like this:

and eventually turns back into data for the last 10 data points or so.
