Streamlined EEG Acquisition: Intuitive Design for Precise Results

BrainVision Recorder 2 Software simplifies the complexities of EEG data collection. Boasting a modern graphical user interface (GUI), the software places critical controls and essential options exactly where you need them, ensuring a smooth and efficient user experience.

From initial hardware syncing to final signal verification, the platform guides researchers through a standardized, best-practice recording workflow:

• Workspace Configuration: Establish and apply uniform parameter settings across all research sessions.

• Impedance Mapping: Quickly evaluate electrode contact quality prior to launching your study.

• Live Signal Inspection: Evaluate raw data integrity in real time to ensure flawless collection.

• Confidence-Driven Recording: Launch your EEG acquisition sessions knowing your data is secure.

While recording, users can dynamically adjust data views and monitor live EEG streams with highly flexible visualization tools:

• Personalized channel filtering, distinct color-coding, and custom scaling.

• Rapid toggling for specific channel subsets.

• Simultaneous side-by-side viewing of standard montages in independent windows.

Centralized Management for Peak Efficiency

Eliminate tedious setup steps with the all-in-one Workspace Editor, which consolidates your vital preparation tasks into a single interface:

• Adjust amplifier settings and parameters.

• Customize and map channel layouts.

• Define precise trigger/marker rules and output formats.

• Pre-configure preferred display layouts.

Every workspace file acts as a comprehensive log of your environmental setup, ensuring strict compliance and effortless study reproducibility. The outcome is minimized human error, quicker preparation times, and absolute transparency.

Uncompromised Data Security

Leveraging a resilient architecture powered by Microsoft Windows® process management, BrainVision Recorder 2 Software guarantees superior data stability. By combining robust software engineering with workflows that promote excellent data collection habits, your valuable research files remain fully protected.

Next-Generation Data Formats and Connectivity

The software debuts the brand-new BrainVision Recording Format (BVRF). This JSON-based architecture offers enhanced readability and houses deeper contextual metadata, while maintaining full BIDS compatibility for straightforward formatting.

Compatibility Ecosystem

• Fully supported by Analyzer 2 (v2.3.1).

• Ready-to-use data readers available for Python, MATLAB, and EEGLAB.

Real-Time Data Distribution

Need instantaneous streaming? BrainVision Recorder 2 Software includes single-click activation for both LSL and RDA streaming protocols, allowing for effortless integration into collaborative or multi-modal setups.

Expanded Feature Highlights

• Export multiple impedance logs into a single, dedicated file.

• Instantly review data using pre-set montage perspectives.

• Includes industry-standard electrode layouts: MNE Realistic 10-05 and Easycap 10-05.

• Out-of-the-box, pre-configured sensor layouts.

• Enhanced, highly flexible marker configuration options.

• Multi-color channel visualization for easier tracking.

Amplifier Compatibility & Licensing

BrainVision Recorder 2 Software currently supports actiCHamp and actiCHamp Plus hardware systems.

⚠️ Compatibility Note: Support for LiveAmp systems is coming in a future update. For the time being, BrainAmp and LiveAmp users should remain on BrainVision Recorder 1 until compatibility is officially released for those models. Please select your software license based on the current hardware utilized in your laboratory.
