About:
BioSig is a suite of open-source software and tools for biomedical signal processing and data conversion. It provides a comprehensive library for reading and writing various biomedical data formats, including EDF, BDF, and GDF. The toolset is particularly valuable for EEG, ECG, and other physiological signal analysis, offering robust data exchange capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Support for numerous biomedical data formats (EDF, BDF, GDF, etc.)
  • Comprehensive library for signal processing and analysis
  • Interoperability tools for data conversion between formats
  • Command-line utilities for data inspection and manipulation
Use Cases:
  • Reading and converting EEG/ECG data from proprietary formats to open standards
  • Preprocessing and quality control of physiological signal recordings
  • Developing applications for biomedical research and clinical analysis
Alternatives:
  • MNE-Python – MNE is a Python library focused on EEG analysis, while BioSig provides broader format support and C/C++ libraries for general-purpose signal processing.
  • WFDB Software Package – WFDB specializes in cardiovascular data (MIT-BIH format), whereas BioSig supports a wider range of biomedical signal types and formats.
