About:
EDFbrowser is a lightweight, open-source viewer specifically designed for EDF+ and BDF+ files, which are standard formats in biomedical signal recording. It provides essential tools for visualizing, annotating, and basic editing of time-series data like EEG, ECG, and EMG signals. The application serves as a practical toolbox for researchers and engineers needing to quickly inspect and verify physiological data without heavy processing overhead.

Key Features:

Supports both EDF+ and BDF+ (24-bit) file formats
High-performance scrolling and zooming of multi-channel signals
Built-in tools for signal filtering, montage editing, and event marking
Export capabilities to CSV, BMP, and other formats for further analysis

Use Cases:

Reviewing and validating EEG data recorded during sleep studies or neurological monitoring
Quickly inspecting ECG/EMG signals for artifact detection or quality control
Converting proprietary biomedical recordings to open formats for sharing or analysis

Alternatives:

Polyman – Polyman is another EDF viewer but is older and less actively maintained compared to EDFbrowser.
EEGLAB (MATLAB) – EEGLAB is a powerful processing suite but requires MATLAB and is overkill for simple viewing tasks.
