Matlab software toolbox for MEG and EEG analysis. (FC Donders Institute)
Full acquisition and analysis program including driver for BioSemi ActiveTwo (alternative for ActiView).
Fieldtrip includes algorithms for simple and advanced analysis of MEG and EEG data, such as time-frequency analysis, source reconstruction using dipoles, distributed sources and beamformers and non-parametric statistical testing. It supports the data formats of all major MEG systems (CTF, Neuromag, BTi) and of the most popular EEG systems, and new formats can be added easily. | | OpenViBE: | OpenViBE is a free and open source software platform dedicated to designing, testing and using brain-computer interfaces.
Full acquisition and analysis program including driver for BioSemi ActiveTwo (alternative for ActiView).
OpenViBE is software for real-time neurosciences (that is, for real-time processing of brain signals). It can be used to acquire, filter, process, classify and visualize brain signals in real time. | MatLab EEG toolbox (Delorme & Makeig)
Open source interactive Matlab toolbox for processing continuous and event-related EEG data using independent component analysis (ICA) and time/frequency analysis including artifact rejection. | Open source Matlab package for analyzing ERP data.
ERPLAB Toolbox is tightly integrated with EEGLAB Toolbox, extending EEGLAB’s capabilities to provide robust, industrial-strength tools for ERP processing, visualization, and analysis. A graphical user interface makes it easy for beginners to learn, and Matlab scripting provides enormous power for intermediate and advanced users. | | MNE is a software package for processing MEG and EEG data. | | This package is designed for sensor and source space analysis of M-EEG data, including frequency-domain and time-frequency analyses and non-parametric statistics. Â In addition, the newest component of MNE is the MNE-Python package, which implements all the functionality of the MNE Matlab tools in Python and facilitates access to the fif (functional image file) format data files employed in our software. It also enables development of custom analysis tools. | EEG review toolbox (Schloegl) The following tools are available free for download:
- Biosig for Octave and Matlab (biosig4octmat) - For accessing (reading and writing) of several data formats
- Biosig for C/C++ - a C/C++ library (libbiosig) for reading, writing and converting (save2gdf) various data formats
- BioSig for Python - provides an interface to python for reading BDF data (based on Biosig4c++)
- SigViewer - A Viewing and Scoring Software, which can handle also BDF data. | | BDF file-format to Neuroscan CNT file-format converter. (Jürgen Kayser) | | A free, open source, multi platform, universal viewer & toolbox intended for, but not limited to, time series storage files like EEG, EMG, ECG, Bio Impedance, etc. | | C/C++ Library for reading EDF/EDF+/BDF/BDF+ files (Teunis van Beelen) | | Java library for tcpip streaming (client & server) (Gido Hakvoort) | | Psychtoolbox | | Free set of Matlab and GNU Octave functions for vision and neuroscience research. Synthesize and show visual and auditory stimuli and interact with the observer. (freeware alternative for Presentation and E-prime software) | | PsychoPy is an open-source application allowing you run a wide range of neuroscience, psychology and psychophysics experiments. It’s a free, powerful alternative to Presentation™ or e-Prime™, written in Python (a free alternative to Matlab™ ). | C++ TCP/IP client GUI (including average and FFT and short guide), MEX code to read Biosemi data and to covert into matlab format, Matlab code to read Biosemi data and to covert into matlab format, C++ code to read Biosemi data. Made by Alessandro Presacco.
- Code (including Matlab code) to read BDF data.
- Code for the Real Time GUI. |
| Utilities from BioSemi (LabView RunTimeEngine needed) | For LabView RunTimeEngine 2016 (New) | For LabView RunTimeEngine 8.6.1 (Older)
|
| BDFreader | This simple file reader can be used to check your recorded BDF files. | BDFreader | | BDF to EDF converter | Some brain analyzing products are technical incapable of reading high resolution 24 bit BDF files with full DC data. You can use this utility for converting your BDF files to 16 bit AC (high-passed) EDF files. | BDF to EDF converter | | Enter Repair Tool | This tool deletes file enter characters from the header. In older versions of ActiView you could insert enter characters in the header which corrupts the bdf file. | BDF Enter Repair Tool | | Length repair tool | If the PC crashes during acquisition, the BDF header will not list the correct file length. Some review programs may crash on such an incorrect BDF file header. In addition, the above tools can also not process files with an incorrect header. This repair tool corrects the file length in the header. | BDF Length Repair Tool | BDF Length Repair Tool | | File Cropper | This utility can be used to crop large BDF files into smaller files.
It also can be used to repair BDF files with a wrong length value written in the header. | FileCropper | | File Merger | The Merger is used for merging 2 .bdf files into 1 .bdf file. | File Merger | File Merger | | Decimater | This utility can be used to decimate (downsample) your BDF file into a smaller file.
Sample rate and bandwidth can be reduced by a factor of 2 or 4 or 8. A fifth order cascaded integrator-comb (CIC) filter is used to prevent aliasing. | Decimater | | Reducer Tool | Tool to reduce the number of channels in a BDF file. Free choice of channels to be converted to the new BDF file. | Reducer Tool | | TCPIP client Application | This LabVIEW program receives the data being sent over TCPIP by ActiView. | TCPIP client Application | | Acquisition-core | Acquisition core of the ActiView program. (ActiView Light)
This allows LabVIEW developers to built their own acquisition program by just using the basic acquisition core of ActiView. The core just reads the ring-buffer and provides the incoming data and trigger/status channel as array ready for further processing. The code also gives insight in the basic setup of ActiView. | Acquisition-core
