FECGSYN toolbox, version 1.3-alpha, August 2019

Open-source platform for reproducible NI-FECG research

Authors

FECGSYN is the product of a collaboration between the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford (DES-OX), the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, TU Dresden (IBMT-TUD), the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Melbourne (EEE-UOM) and the Biomedical Engineering Faculty at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology (BME-IIT).

History

FECGSYN is built upon the work from McSharry et al. [1] and Sameni et al. [2] The original code from McSharry et al. is available in MATLAB and in C on PhysioNet. The code developed by Sameni et al. is part of the OSET toolbox, also available online in MATLAB. Links to these work are available at: http://physionet.incor.usp.br/physiotools/ipmcode/
