The MindWare Technologies HRV Application gives life sciences researchers a powerful, easy-to-use research tool that works directly with industry standard data formats and standard desktop applications. The MindWare HRV application is used in many top research institutions nationwide and is continually improved by our development team.

Intuitive analysis software

Powerful, flexible segmentation options.

• Analyze specific time spans
• Utilize events to quickly and consistently jump to points of interest (baseline, tasks, etc) in the file
  • • Automatically read events from MindWare, AcqKnowledge, Brain Vision files
    • Import events from Mangold INTERACT, Noldus Observer, and more
    • Detect events from digital pulses
• Continuous analysis for second by second calculation of statistics
• Load ECG/EKG data, PPG/PLE, or import an IBI (inter-beat interval) series directly as well as a source of respiration (either directly, or derived from cardiac impedance signals)
• Supports MindWare data files (MWX/MWI, MW), AcqKnowledge 3 Graph (.acq), European Data Format (EDF), Biosemi Data Format (BDF), BrainVision data format (VHDR/EEG)
  • Import many other file formats using the ASCII-MW converter
• Automatically synchronize and playback up to 4 video files while viewing physiology data

‍

• Know where your statistics come from – only published and peer reviewed algorithms are used throughout
• Visualize data with colorful, easy to understand graphs
• Automatic dual artifact detection algorithms help guide you to areas in the data that need further investigation/correction
• Output popular, industry standard metrics of Heart Rate Variability with the press of a button – no configuration needed. Our HRV software automatically performs complex transformations to explore both the time and frequency domain:
  • Heart Rate/IBI
  • Respiration Rate
  • VLF/LF/HF frequency band statistics
  • Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA)
  • SDNN
  • RMSSD
  • NN50/pNN50
  • And more
• Track respiration rate to validate RSA with flags to notify you of any potential issues.
  • Measure respiration directly (with a respiration belt) or derive from cardiac impedance signals
• Write all statistics to an organized Excel file for further review/analysis

‍

• The comprehensive graphical data editor allows you to easily clean your data by inserting/deleting detected peaks
  • Estimate the location of missing R peaks by inserting one or many midbeats – allowing you to preserve more data even in the presence of movement artifact
  • Automatically track edits and the distribution of peaks (good vs estimates vs artifact) to ensure you are staying within the acceptable bounds
• Save time by reusing edits from the Cardiac Impedance (IMP) application, or start in HRV and import your edits to IMP
• Save multiple edit files to track editing techniques across many team members
  • Edits are always saved separately, preserving the integrity of the raw data
