TL;DR
The WaveForm DataBase (WFDB) Toolbox for MATLAB/Octave enables integrated access to PhysioNet’s software and databases and should easily be able to reproduce, validate, and compare results published based on Physio net's software and database.
Abstract
The WaveForm DataBase (WFDB) Toolbox for MATLAB/Octave enables integrated access to PhysioNet’s software and databases. Using the WFDB Toolbox for MATLAB/Octave, users have access to over 50 physiological databases in PhysioNet. The toolbox provides access over 4 TB of biomedical signals including ECG, EEG, EMG, and PLETH. Additionally, most signals are accompanied by metadata such as medical annotations of clinical events: arrhythmias, sleep stages, seizures, hypotensive episodes, etc. Users of this toolbox should easily be able to reproduce, validate, and compare results published based on PhysioNet’s software and databases.
