Featured Resources

BCI2000 (www.bci2000.org)

BCI2000 is a general-purpose system for brain-computer interface (BCI) research. It can also be used for data acquisition, stimulus presentation, and brain monitoring applications. The mission of the BCI2000 project is to facilitate research and applications in these areas. The vision for the project is that BCI2000 will become a widely used software tool for diverse areas of real-time biosignal processing. BCI2000 supports a variety of data acquisition systems, brain signals, and study/feedback paradigms, data storage in BCI2000 native or GDF formats, and data import in Matlab and export into ASCII.

Development of BCI2000 is funded by NIH/NIBIB (R01-EB006356). The system is available for free for non-profit research and educational purposes at www.bci2000.org. To date, it has been acquired by about 400 laboratories around the world, and has been used in more than 120 peer-reviewed publications.

NCRR Biomedical Technology Research Centers: Informatics Resources

PhysioNet was established in 1999 as one of nine Biomedical Technology Resources in Simulation and Computation supported by the NIH's National Center for Research Resources. In October 2008, NCRR changed the name of its Biomedical Technology Research Resources (grant mechanism P41) to Biomedical Technology Research Centers, and designated the former Resources in Simulation and Computation as Informatics Resources, which include:

• Center for Integrative Biomedical Computing (formerly the Center for Bioelectric Field Modeling, Simulation and Visualization)
  University of Utah, Salt Lake City
• National Resource for Biomedical Supercomputing (High-Performance Computing for Biomedical Research)
  Carnegie-Mellon University
• Human Genetic Analysis Resource
  Case Western Reserve University
• Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (LONI)
  UCLA School of Medicine
• Multiscale Modeling Tools in Structural Biology
  Scripps Research Institute
• National Biomedical Computation Resource
  San Diego Supercomputer Center, University of California, San Diego
• National Resource for Cell Analysis and Modeling
  Center for Biomedical Imaging Technology, University of Connecticut Health Center
• Neuroimaging Analysis Center
  Surgical Planning Laboratory, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston
• Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics (RBVI)
  Computer Graphics Laboratory, University of California, San Francisco
• Resource for Macromolecular Modeling and Bioinformatics
  University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
