openMNGlab: Data Analysis Framework for Microneurography - A Technical Report

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2021 Sep 21:283:165-171. doi: 10.3233/SHTI210556.

Abstract

openMNGlab is an open-source software framework for data analysis, tailored for the specific needs of microneurography - a type of electrophysiological technique particularly important for research on peripheral neural fibers coding. Currently, openMNGlab loads data from Spike2 and Dapsys, which are two major data acquisition solutions. By building on top of the Neo software, openMNGlab can be easily extended to handle the most common electrophysiological data formats. Furthermore, it provides methods for data visualization, fiber tracking, and a modular feature database to extract features for data analysis and machine learning.

Keywords: Microneurography; data science; membrane potential; neurophysiology.
