Abstract

Biomedical signal processing is an important but underestimated area of medical informatics. In order to overcome this limitation, the open source software library BioSig has been established. The tools can be used to compare the recordings of different equipment providers, it provides validated methods for artifact processing and supports over 40 different data formats (more than any other software in this area). BioSig provides reference implementations for biomedical signal processing questions and holds the top rank among all biomedical signal processing projects registered at SourceForge. Thus is provides standardization and quality control for the field of biomedical signal processing.
