Get Signal Studio. Free, open, local.

Yes, really. Free forever. MIT licensed. No tiers, no commercial version, no enterprise paywall. The project is funded by donations and grants. If you find it useful and have the budget, sponsor a contributor — but you'll never be required to.

No. Signal Studio runs entirely on your machine. There's no telemetry, no analytics, no "anonymized usage data." It only talks to the workflow hub when you explicitly fetch or publish a workflow. Perfect for clinical environments and air-gapped lab machines.

Absolutely — that's the point. Signal Studio imports and exports MNE Raw/Epochs/Evoked objects natively, and supports EEGLAB .set files round-trip. Many of the built-in nodes are thin wrappers around MNE-Python. Use whichever interface fits the task.

Feature-wise, comparable or better for most research workflows. Where commercial tools win is FDA-cleared clinical reporting — Signal Studio is a research tool, not a medical device. For everything else, see the comparison on the Software page.

Yes. App Mode hides the node graph and shows just the parameters. Pick a community template, drop in your file, hit run. You'll likely produce your first publication-quality ERP figure within an afternoon, no Python required.

Every workflow has an auto-generated cite-as block that credits both Signal Studio and the workflow's author, with versions pinned. Copy it into your methods section verbatim. For citing Signal Studio itself, see the "Cite Signal Studio" page in the footer.
