NEW LAUNCH: BrainVision Recorder 2 Software

Introducing BrainVision Recorder 2: A New Data Recording Experience. We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of BrainVision Recorder 2, a major software upgrade that takes EEG data acquisition to the next level. Building upon the trusted foundation of Recorder 1, this iteration delivers a modern interface, streamlined workflows, and enhanced flexibility, ensuring maximum data integrity for modern research environments. Intuitive Workflows & All-In-One Setup. The core design philosophy of Recorder 2 is to make complex setups remarkably simple and significantly reduce preparation time. The Workspace Editor: Amplifier setup, channel configuration, marker options, and view settings are now centralized in a single, intuitive interface. Each workspace file documents your entire setup, ensuring total reproducibility and reporting compliance., Guided Progression: The software naturally guides the researcher through the best practices of EEG acquisition: Workspace Editor → Impedance Check → Signal Monitoring → Recording., Customizable Quick Views: Dynamically adapt data views on the fly, utilizing standard montages or freely selectable subsets of channels to monitor specific signals without interrupting the recording. Future-Proof Data Formatting: Introducing BVRF. Recorder 2 establishes a new standard for data output with the BrainVision Recording Format (BVRF). BIDS-Friendly JSON: Based on.json files, BVRF provides superior human and machine readability, allowing researchers to store more contextual metadata directly alongside the EEG recording., Ready for Analysis: BVRF is already supported in the latest BrainVision Analyzer 2 (v2.3.1), with upcoming reader support for MATLAB, EEGLAB, and Python environments. Seamless Integration & LSL Streaming. Collaboration and multimodal technical integration are easier than ever. Recorder 2 features built-in, one-click network streaming protocols, supporting both standard RDA and the newly integrated Lab Streaming Layer (LSL). Hardware Compatibility & Availability. Launching in early 2026, the first release of Recorder 2 will fully support the actiCHamp and actiCHamp Plus amplifiers. Support for the LiveAmp and BrainAmp series will follow in subsequent updates.
