EDFbrowser is a multi-platform viewer for EEG, EMG, and ECG storage files. It supports the EDF, EDF+, BDF, and BDF+ file formats. It supports montages, annotations, precise measurements by using crosshairs, and a zoom function by drawing a rectangle with the mouse. It shows signals from different files at the same time. It includes a built-in EDF/EDF+/BDF/BDF+ to ASCII converter, a built-in Nihon Kohden to EDF+ converter (including annotations), a built in EDF+D to EDF+C converter, a BDF(+) to EDF(+) converter and a built-in EDF/EDF+/BDF/BDF+ compatibility checker.

Recent releases


Release Notes: A bug that caused a crash when saving an EDF or BDF file after importing annotations was fixed. The "Export ECG RR-interval" tool was changed in such a way that you can easily export the whole recording. It is now also possible to import them as annotations directly. The "Import annotations/events" tool can now also import the duration of an annotation/event (from ASCII or XML files). The ability to hide or unhide annotations from the screen by right clicking them was added.


Release Notes: This release fixes a bug which caused a crash when the "Abort" button was clicked when opening a BDF file, fixes some other small bugs, adds some enhancements, and updates Qt to 4.8.1.


Release Notes: This release adds the ability to disable scanning for annotations or triggers when opening a file, depending on the filesize (this can be useful when working with big files which take a lot of time to read in annotations, events, or triggers), extends the capabilities of the header-editor (it can now also fix files which have a wrong number of datarecords written in the header or when the file does not end at the boundary of a datarecord; see the manual for the details), improves the ECG heartrate detection algorithm, and fixes some bugs related to signals with inversed polarity.


Release Notes: This release fixes a bug that caused the "print to PDF / Postscript / Image" to fail when non-ASCII characters were present in the new filename. It fixes a bug that caused "printing to image" drawing the signals too thick and incorrect rulers. It fixes a bug in the ECG heart rate detection algorithm that could cause wrong measurements whit high heart rates (more than 120 bpm). It adds Mousewheel zoom-in/out by pressing the Ctrl-key.


Release Notes: This is a bugfix release. It fixes multiple bugs related to annotationmarkers and EDFplus feature to use subsecondprecision in the starttime of the file. This only affects files that uses the subsecond starttime offset EDF+ feature.
