Deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices with neural recording capabilities are commercially available and may potentially improve clinical care and advance research. However, tools, to visualize neural recording data have been limited. These tools in general, require custom-made software for processing and analysis. The development of new tools will be critical for clinicians and researchers to fully leverage the latest device capabilities.
There is an urgent need for a user-friendly tool for in-depth visualization and analysis of brain signals and of DBS data.
The Brain Recording Analysis and Visualization Online (BRAVO) platform was developed to easily import, visualize, and analyze brain signals. This Python-based web interface has been designed and implemented on a Linux server. The tool processes the session files from DBS programming generated by a clinical 'programming' tablet. The platform is capable of parsing and organizing neural recordings for longitudinal analysis. We present the platform and cases exemplifying its application and use.
The BRAVO platform is an accessible easy-to-use, open-source web interface for clinicians and researchers to apply for analysis of longitudinal neural recording data. The tool can be used for both clinical and research applications.
具有神经记录功能的深部脑刺激 (DBS) 设备已在商业上可用，可能会改善临床护理并推进研究。然而，用于可视化神经记录数据的工具一直受到限制。这些工具通常需要定制的软件来进行处理和分析。开发新的工具对于临床医生和研究人员充分利用最新的设备功能至关重要。
迫切需要一种用户友好的工具，用于深入可视化和分析脑信号和 DBS 数据。
开发了 Brain Recording Analysis and Visualization Online（BRAVO）平台，用于轻松导入、可视化和分析脑信号。这个基于 Python 的 Web 界面是在 Linux 服务器上设计和实现的。该工具处理由临床“编程”平板电脑生成的 DBS 编程会话文件。该平台能够解析和组织神经记录以进行纵向分析。我们介绍了该平台，并举例说明了其应用和使用情况。
BRAVO 平台是一种易于访问、易于使用的开源 Web 界面，可供临床医生和研究人员用于分析纵向神经记录数据。该工具可用于临床和研究应用。
