## Description

This package provides a high level integration of complex statistical routines for researchers and clinicians with not much experience in programming, statistics or signal theory.

Main features:

- **M/EEG**
- **`read_eeg()`**: Under development
- Preprocessing: Under development
- Filtering: Under development
- Microstates: Under development
- **[Biosignals](http://neurokit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/Bio.html)**
- **[`read_acqknowledge()`](http://neurokit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/documentation.html#read-acqknowledge)**: Load and convert Biopac:copyright:'s AcqKnowledge files to a `pandas`' dataframe
- **[`ecg_process()`](http://neurokit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/documentation.html#ecg-process)**: Extract ECG and RSP features (R peaks, Heart rate, Heart rate variability (HRV))
- **[`eda_process()`](http://neurokit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/documentation.html#eda-process)**: Extract Electrodermal Activity (EDA) features (phasic component using the new cvxEDA algorithm ([Greco, 2016](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26336110)), Skin Conductance Response's (SCR) onsets, peaks and amplitudes)
- **Statistics**
- **[`z_score()`](http://neurokit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/documentation.html#z-score)**: Normalize (scale and reduce) variables
- **Miscellaneous**
- **`fractal_dimensions()`**: Extract Fractal dimensions, chaos and entropy features
- **[`BMI()`](http://neurokit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/documentation.html#bmi)**: Computes the traditional body mass index (BMI), the new BMI, the Body Fat Percentage (BFP) and their interpretation
