The BEAT Toolbox is intended to be a set of building blocks for writing analysis software. Since much software in the field is expensive, proprietary, or difficult to customize (or all three), researchers often write their own software. Often, this leads leads to many people duplicating effort in writing programs to load different file formats and perform different computations (e.g., joint angles, median frequency of EMG signals). The BEAT Toolbox is an attempt to limit this duplication of effort by providing as much of this basic functionality as possible.
