BrainVision Recorder 2

BrainVision Recorder 2: a whole new experience in reliable data recording

The BrainVision Recorder 2 recording software for neurophysiological and electrophysiological signals supports Brain Products EEG amplifiers.

EEG recording made simple: intuitive workflows for accurate data

BrainVision Recorder 2 is designed for efficient and reliable EEG data acquisition. Its intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) ensures smooth navigation, placing essential options where you expect them and providing quick access to critical features.

From hardware configuration to impedance checks and signal verification, Recorder 2 guides you through every step of best-practice EEG recording:

• Workspace Setup – Apply consistent parameter settings for every session
• Impedance Check – Verify electrode contact quality before recording
• Signal Check – Inspect raw signals to ensure data integrity
• Recording – Start your EEG session with confidence

During acquisition, you can monitor incoming EEG signals in real time and adjust views instantly. Flexible visualization options include:

• Customizable channel-wise display filters, colors, and scaling
• Quick views for selected channel subsets
• Multiple standard montages in dedicated windows for side-by side viewing

Centralized setup for maximum efficiency

The Workspace Editor brings essential setup steps together in one place.

• Configure amplifier parameters
• Define channel layouts
• Set output and marker options
• Pre-set display preferences

Each workspace file documents your entire setup for reproducibility and compliance.
The result? Faster setup, fewer errors, and complete transparency for your EEG environment

Reliable and high-quality EEG data

Recorder 2 uses a robust architecture based on Microsoft Windows^® process management to ensure data integrity. Combined with a workflow that enforces good EEG acquisition practices, your recordings are safe and reliable.

Future-proof EEG data formats and integration

Recorder 2 introduces the BrainVision Recording Format (BVRF), a JSON-based structure that improves readability and supports richer contextual data. It remains BIDS-compatible for easy conversion.
