Every signal, every step, visible.
A complete tour of Signal Studio: what it does, what makes it different, and the small details that make hours of pipeline work feel like minutes.
One workspace. Every step of the pipeline.
From raw recording to publication-ready figures: without ever leaving the application.
Node graph editor
Infinite canvas. Snap-to-grid. Multi-select. Group, comment, reroute. The fluency of Figma, the precision of a DAW.
Live waveform inspect
Click any edge to scope the signal at that point. Zoom, pan, scrub. GPU-rendered at 60fps even on 256-channel arrays.
Macro knobs
Map any parameter to a macro knob. Sweep through the parameter space in real time, watch every downstream node react.
Eight visualization tabs
Waveforms / spectrogram / topomap / ICA / ERP / source / connectivity / stats. Synchronized scrubbing across all of them.
BIDS-compatible
Native read/write of BIDS-EEG datasets. Auto-validate, auto-fill metadata, auto-export supplementary materials.
Versioned workflows
Every workflow is a tracked artifact. Diff your changes, roll back, fork a colleague's pipeline at any point in its history.
Cross-platform
Native builds for macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), Windows, and Linux. The same workspace file runs identically on all three.
Four built-in themes
Studio (dark, default), Daylight (high-contrast print), Lab (cream + blue), Focus (minimal). All themable via JSON.
From raw file to clean epochs without writing a line of code.
Drop a BrainVision, EDF, FIF, BDF, or Neuralynx file onto the canvas. Signal Studio introspects channel types, montages, and event triggers automatically. A starter pipeline appears: ready to run, or yours to break apart.
- 10+ native formats: including newer mobile EEG headsets
- Automatic channel-type detection & montage matching
- Interactive bad-channel rejection with topographic context
- ICA component review with auto-classification suggestions
GPU-accelerated waveform engine. Yes, even on your laptop.
Built on a custom WebGPU renderer that streams from disk. Scrub through twelve hours of 256-channel recording at 60fps. Zoom from days down to milliseconds without the UI ever stuttering.
- WebGPU-backed rendering, Metal/Vulkan/DX12 transparently
- Out-of-core: never loads the whole recording into RAM
- Synchronized cursor across all eight visualization tabs
- Export any view as SVG, PNG, or publication-ready PDF
Workflows that travel between people, not just laptops.
A workflow file is human-readable, deterministic, and self-describing. Send one to your collaborator, drop it into their Signal Studio, and they see exactly what you saw: same data, same parameters, same plots, same numbers.
- Single-file workflows with embedded environment manifest
- Git-friendly: meaningful diffs, no binary noise
- One-click publish to the community workflow hub
- Cite-as block auto-generated for every published workflow
What changes when the interface catches up to the science.
Stop fighting the tools.
