BioSPPy - Biosignal Processing in Python

A toolbox for biosignal processing written in Python.

Image

The toolbox bundles together various signal processing and pattern recognition
methods geared towards the analysis of biosignals.

Highlights:

  • Support for various biosignals: BVP, ECG, EDA, EEG, EMG, PCG, PPG, Respiration
  • Signal analysis primitives: filtering, frequency analysis
  • Clustering
  • Biometrics

Documentation can be found at: http://biosppy.readthedocs.org/

Installation

Installation can be easily done with pip:

bash
$ pip install biosppy

Simple Example

The code below loads an ECG signal from the examples folder, filters it,
performs R-peak detection, and computes the instantaneous heart rate.

python
from biosppy import storage from biosppy.signals import ecg # load raw ECG signal signal, mdata = storage.load_txt('./examples/ecg.txt') # process it and plot out = ecg.ecg(signal=signal, sampling_rate=1000., show=True)

This should produce a plot similar to the one below.
