PhiTools: Software Tools for Physiology

PRANA Viewer

The PRANA® software for biosignal processing has powerful computing capabilities and modularity allowing multiple software plug-ins to be executed efficiently.

Various software plug-ins for general and specific purposes are already available:

All the software plug-ins can be executed in a single run by using the software plug-in launcher. Additional plug-ins can easily be implemented using the software developer kit.

Artifact Detection

The software artifact detection plug-in allows for automatic signal decontamination by localizing, marking and removing traces containing recording artefacts.

Artifact detection window

With its graphical interface, this user-friendly and flexible software plug-in features:

single-run multiple event and artifact detectors,
detector adjustable settings (time resolution and interval, channel selection, frequency filtering, signal feature selection, threshold type),
default detector settings for most common artifacts (movement, electrode detachment, over-flow, flat-line, power-line, muscular and ocular activity, etc.),
saving and loading detector settings,
user-defined detectors using customised settings,
detection supervision using adjustable artifact properties.

Thanks to the software artifact detection plug-in and to its integrated artifact removal procedure, the PRANA® software enables high-quality quantitative analyses.

Transient Event Detection

The software transient event detection plug-in allows for automatic waveform detection by analysing signals, localising event onsets and offsets and marking events from the corresponding traces.

Transient event detection window

With its graphical interface, this user-friendly and flexible software plug-in features:

single-run multiple event and artifact detectors,
detector adjustable settings (time resolution and interval, channel selection, frequency filtering, signal feature selection, threshold type),
default detector settings for most common waveforms (snores, slow eye-movements, muscular activity, EEG delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma activites, slow and fast sleep spindles, etc.),
saving and loading detector settings,
user-defined detectors using customised settings,
detection supervision using adjustable artifact properties.

Thanks to the software transient event detection plug-in, the PRANA® software allows analyzing biosignal by detecting events and measuring event distributions.

Sleep Spindle Detection

The software sleep spindle detection plug-in allows for the automatic detection of events such as sleep spindles from any EEG recordings.

adjustable settings (channel selection, frequency filtering, events duration and interval, threshold),
default detector settings for human sleep slow-waves,
user-defined detection using customised settings,
detection supervision using adjustable events properties.

Thanks to the software sleep slow-wave detection plug-in, the PRANA® software allows the detection sleep grapho-elements and measuring event densities from any conventional PSG recording.

Rapid Eye-Movement Detection

The software rapid eye-movement detection plug-in allows for the automatic detection of events such as rapid eye-movements from any conventional EOG recordings.

Rapid eye-movement detection window

With its graphical interface, this user-friendly and flexible software plug-in features:

single-run analysis of multiple channels,
adjustable settings (channel selection, frequency filtering, events duration and interval, amplitude and slope thresholds),
default detector settings for human rapid eye-movements,
user-defined detection using customised settings,
detection supervision using adjustable events properties.

Thanks to the software rapid eye-movement detection plug-in, the PRANA® software allows the detection sleep grapho-elements and measurement of event densities from any conventional PSG recording.

Respiratory Event Detection*

The software respiratory event detection plug-in allows for the automatic detection of respiratory events (apnea, hypopnea, blood oxygen desaturation, snoring and body position) from conventional PSG recordings.

Respiratory event detection window

With its graphical interface, this user-friendly and flexible software plug-in features:

single-run analysis of multiple events,
adjustable settings (channel selection),
default detector settings for human respiration,
user-defined detection using customised settings,

Thanks to the software respiratory event detection plug-in, the PRANA® software facilitates the diagnosis of sleep breathing disorders by detecting respiratory events from conventional breathing recordings.
