Data Collection and Processing

• Physionet is an online resource including open source data analysis software and a biomedical signal bank.
• Neuroshare offers open data specifications and software for neurophysiology
• Neuromax offers a software toolbox for analysis of multichannel microelectrode array data
• MEA-Tools offers MATLAB Tools for the analysis of multi-neuronal data recorded with multi-electrode arrays.
• EMG-Lab is a forum for sharing software, data, and information related to EMG decomposition. The goals of this resource are to promote decomposition as a research tool and to promote exchange of EMG data, attention to accuracy, and algorithm innovation.
