Features

This package provides a high level integration of complex statistical routines for researchers and clinicians with not much experience in programming, statistics or signal theory.

• Biosignals
  • read_acqknowledge(): Load and convert Biopac:copyright:'s AcqKnowledge files to a dataframe
  • ecg_process(): Extract ECG features
    • Heart Rate
    • Heart rate variability (HRV) - time, frequency and nonlinear domains
    • Cardiac Cycles - R peaks, RR intervals, P, Q, T Waves, ...
    • Cardiac Phase (systole/diastole)
    • Signal quality evaluation
    • Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) - P2T method
    • Complexity (multiscale entropy, fractal dimensions, ...)
  • rsp_process(): Extract Respiratory features
