BESA

Choose the best signal processing for your EEG and MEG data

BESA is the most widely used software for source analysis and dipole localization in EEG and MEG research. BESA Research has been developed on the basis of 30 years experience in human brain research by the team around Michael Scherg, University of Heidelberg, and Patrick Berg, University of Konstanz.

BESA Research is a highly versatile and user-friendly Windows? program with optimized tools and scripts to preprocess raw or averaged data for source analysis and connectivity analysis. All important aspects of source analysis are displayed in one window for immediate selection of a wide range of tools. The same holds true for the source coherence / time-frequency module, and other analysis windows. BESA Research provides fast and easy hypothesis testing, a variety of source analysis algorithms including cortical imaging and volume imaging methods, integration with MRI and fMRI, age-appropriate template head models (FEM) as well as the possibility to import individual head models (FEM) generated by BESA MRI 2.0.

More than just dipole source localization

BESA Research covers the whole range of signal processing and analysis from the acquired raw data to dynamic source images:

• Data review and processing.
• Source montages and 3D whole-head mapping.
• ERP analysis and averaging.
• Source localization and source imaging.
• Individual MRI and fMRI integration with BESA MRI and BrainVoyager.
• Source coherence and time-frequency analysis.
