Supported Data Formats
From BESA® Wiki
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
