Introduction to BrainVision Analyzer
BrainVision Analyzer is a market-leading, complete EEG & ERP processing software used to analyze data from nearly any EEG amplifier available. It is designed to provide high-quality scientific output and is based on published scientific methods.
Features of BrainVision Analyzer
The software offers a range of features, including:
- A History Tree of processing steps, which provides immediate user feedback and ensures a quick learning curve
- The ability to read over 50 data formats
- A bidirectional interface to MATLAB
- Free scientific and software support
Self-Documenting and Easy to Learn
BrainVision Analyzer is self-documenting and easy to learn, with a visual representation of analysis steps in a structure called History Trees. This allows users to explore and compare various data processing strategies, and each History Tree node contains a full description of the parameters used for data processing.
Fast Processing and Visualization
The software offers fast processing and visualization, with templates from History Trees that can be applied to multiple datasets for quick and consistent analysis. It also features multiple views for fast data visualization and comparison.
Basic and Advanced Methods
BrainVision Analyzer includes a range of basic and advanced methods, such as:
- Filters
- Raw Data Inspection
- Interactive ICA
- FFT
