EEGChain: An Open-Access EEGLAB-based Toolbox for Building, Managing, Automating, and Reproducing Batch EEG Processing Pipelines

A convenient GUI-based EEG (pre-)processing pipeline management system;
Loading pre-stored pipeline configurations to ensure consistent signal processing and reproducibility;
Interactive GUI for selection, rearrangement, and customization of processing blocks from the EEGLAB toolbox;
Offering both interactive and automated pipeline execution modes, providing flexibility in processing control;
Easy creation of pipelines by adding, removing, or rearranging pipeline building blocks;
Adjusting the parameters of each pipeline building block through the easy-to-use GUI of EEGChain;
The same pipeline can be applied to multiple imported EEG datasets in batch, in an automated way.
