Welcome to the psyphr wiki!

Background on MindWare Technologies

MindWare Technologies, Ohio sells 6 analysis applications that provide output data we are interested in wrangling. These include Basic Signal Analysis (BSA), Blood Pressure Variability (BPV) Analysis, Electrodermal Activity (EDA) Analysis, Electromyography (EMG) Analysis, Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Analysis, and Impedance Cardiography (IMP) Analysis. Most MindWare users are on versions 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2.

So far, I am only familiar with EDA and HRV. Eventually, I would like psyphr to wrangle data from all MindWare analysis applications and then move to add options for data from BIOPAC Research Solutions.

Here is some more information on EDA and HRV.

EDA Analysis 3.2 Manual

HRV Analysis 3.2 Manual

Aside: BioLab is the data acquisition software, which provides the raw data files for the analysis applications. The analysis applications then export the edited output data for compilation, analysis, and visualization.

Interesting tidbit: Years ago, MindWare had its own proprietary study compilation tool for use across analysis applications. They do not offer it to clients anymore, but maybe there is content in the manual that might inform our approach in managing the file naming problem or other things. It looks they required users to enter subject ID, etc.
