• Import raw data from .txt or .csv files generated by the finometer without needing to manually copy/paste from Beatscope, or mannualy merge multiple files
• Reshape data into a minute-by-minute format to allow for trends to be identified
• Generate experimental protocol averages for each cardiovascular measure
• Append cardiovascular data from multiple files
• Save the processed data to .csv format for importing into python, R, SPSS or other stats software
