An overview on data formats for biomedical signals.

摘要

Biomedical signals are stored in a variety of different data formats. This obstructs true interoperability, increases costs for software development and maintenance of software. Therefore, it is would be desirable to have a single data format for biomedical signals.In order to address this issue, (I) essential properties of biosignal data formats are identified, and (ii) an overview of various data formats is provided. The advantages and disadvantages of 19 data formats are compared in detail.
