Braindecode

Braindecode is an open-source Python toolbox for decoding raw electrophysiological brain data with deep learning models. It includes dataset fetchers, data preprocessing and visualization tools, as well as implementations of several deep learning architectures and data augmentations for analysis of EEG, ECoG and MEG.

For neuroscientists who want to work with deep learning and deep learning researchers who want to work with neurophysiological data.

Installation Braindecode

Install pytorch from http://pytorch.org/ (you don’t need to install torchvision).
If you want to download EEG datasets from MOABB, install it:

pip install moabb

Install latest release of braindecode via pip:

pip install braindecode

If you want to install the latest development version of braindecode, please refer to contributing page

Documentation

Documentation is online under https://braindecode.org, both in the stable and dev versions.
