Module information
Modules BESA Research Basic or higher
Version 6.1 or higher

BESA Research supports most major EEG and MEG file formats. Most file format readers are written by ourselves, others are supplied by the manufacturers. This document gives an overview of all the data formats that can be imported in BESA Research 6.1. If your file format cannot be found in this list, please contact us via our support form: BESA support form

The latest installers for the various file formats can be downloaded from the following site: BESA file format readers

If files are in one of these formats, they can be read directly and conversion is not required. BESA Research also has a new, flexible interface for importing ASCII files which can be used in conjunction with the ASCII export functions of your software. Any EEG format can be converted to the compressed BESA binary format, ASCII format, EDF+ or simple binary format.

* Install this reader using "Install Additional Readers.htm" in the "Utilities\Additional Readers\" subfolder.
** The EEG data format requires installation of the corresponding EEG system reader software or SDK.
*** The Cadwell reader requires the installation of the Cadwell Arc API. If this API is not already installed on your computer, download it from the following link and install it on your computer: Link. The API must be installed in the suggested default path on your C: drive.
**** Please note that a valid license for the IWave library is required in order to be able to read InstEP files.
