Analyzing biosignals using the R freeware (open source) tool

چکیده

For researchers in electromyography (EMG), and similar biosginals, signal processing is naturally an essential topic. There are a number of excellent tools available. To these one may add the freely available open source statistical software package R, which is in fact also a programming language. It is becoming one of the standard tools for scientists to visualize and process data. A large number of additional packages are continually contributed by an active community. The purpose of this paper is to alert biomechanics researchers to the usefulness of this versatile tool. We discuss a set of basic signal processing methods and their realizations with R which are provided in the supplementary material. The data used in the examples are EMG and force plate data acquired during a quiet standing test.

Open-Source VLSI CAD Tools: A Comparative Study

The design of electronic circuits can be achieved at many different refinement levels from the most detailed layout to the most abstract architectures. Given the complexity of Very Large Scaled Integrated Circuits (VLSI) which is far beyond human ability, computers are increasingly used to aid in the design and optimization processes. It is no longer efficient to use manual design techniques, i...

Leveraging Open source/Freeware Tools and Design Methodologies in Translational Research: A Siemens-based Case Study -- from Raw Diffusion and Structural Data to PACS and the Web

INTRODUCTION: Most modern MRI scanners are typically controlled from an operator console that is itself a specialized personal computer -often running Windows or a custom Linux distribution. These scanner consoles can be easily interconnected to broader hospital processing networks, often times in ways that the original manufacturer did not anticipate. In the simplest sense, such interconnectiv...

TRAVIS - a free analyzer and visualizer for Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics trajectories

We present TRAVIS ("TRajectory Analyzer and VISualizer"), a free program package for analyzing and visualizing Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics trajectories. The aim of TRAVIS is to collect as many analyses as possible in one program, creating a powerful tool and making it unnecessary to use many different programs for evaluating simulations. This should greatly rationalize and simplify the w...
