Export your recorded data to EEGLab (MATLAB) or MNE (Python)
Postprocessing in Python
Postprocessing in Python can be started with both .Poly5 and .xdf files. Both file formats can be transformed into an MNE-Python object. The example scripts in the 'examples_reading_data' folder can be used respectively. Furthermore, in V4 of the TMSi Python Interface, the functionality to transform .Poly5 files to .edf file format is added.
Postprocessing in MATLAB
Postprocessing in MATLAB is possible with .Poly5 files. It is possible to convert this file format into an EEGLab compatible file, by using the example script 'Poly5toEEGlab.m'.
EEG Analysis Integrations
MNE and MNELAB
MNE is an open-source Python library that can be used for exploring, visualizing, and analyzing EEG data, as well as other types of physiological data. MNE offers a range of visualization options, including topographic plots, power spectral densities, and visualizations of Event-Related Potentials (ERPs).
EEGLAB
EEGLAB is an open-source, interactive MATLAB toolbox designed for processing and visualizing EEG data. It can be accessed either through an interactive GUI or by utilizing the structured programming environment directly.
BESA
BESA is a widely-used EEG/MEG analysis software tool, which comes with a variety of data review tools, source analysis pipelines, and other types of EEG processing algorithms. BESA is considered an easy-to-use software, making data analysis more straightforward.
AcqKnowledge
AcqKnowledge (BIOPAC) is a software tool that can be used for acquiring and analyzing many different (electro-)physiological data streams, as well as video feeds, stimulus presentation and more. APEX is one of the integrated hardware types that can be used with this software, bringing high-quality data into the AcqKnowledge ecosystem.
