Braindecode

Braindecode is an open-source Python toolbox for decoding raw electrophysiological brain data with deep learning models. It includes dataset fetchers, data preprocessing and visualization tools, as well as implementations of several deep learning architectures and data augmentations for analysis of EEG, ECoG and MEG.

For neuroscientists who want to work with deep learning and deep learning researchers who want to work with neurophysiological data.

Installation Braindecode

1. Install pytorch from http://pytorch.org/ (you don't need to install torchvision).
2. Install MOABB via pip (needed if you want to use MOABB datasets utilities):

pip install moabb

3. Install latest release of braindecode via pip:

pip install braindecode

alternatively, if you use conda, you could create a dedicated environment with the following:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/braindecode/braindecode/master/environment.yml
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate braindecode

alternatively, install the latest version of braindecode via pip:

pip install -U https://api.github.com/repos/braindecode/braindecode/zipball/master

Documentation

Documentation is online under https://braindecode.org, both in the stable and dev versions.
