Multimodal research,
made simple.

biosync synchronizes eye tracking, physiology, EEG/fNIRS, facial expression and voice into a single, event-locked recording — every sensor on one shared timeline. Design your study, run it, and analyze the results, all in one app.

How it works

One app, the whole study

biosync is self-contained. You design the study, record every sensor on one clock, and analyze the results, all in the same program.

Capabilities

One platform, the whole research arc

Design the study, calibrate and capture, then analyze and export — every step in a single, friendly desktop app.

Synchronized acquisition

Heterogeneous sensors recorded on one clock via Lab Streaming Layer, with autosave, missing-stream detection and gap logging.

Eye tracking

12-point calibration, live gaze cursor, I-VT fixations & saccades, AOIs, heatmaps and scanpaths — on hardware trackers or the webcam.

Physiology & EEG

HR/HRV, EDA & SCR, EMG via NeuroKit2; EEG filtering, epoching and ERP via MNE — validated, open methods.

Facial & voice

Action units and valence/arousal with py-feat; loudness, pitch and transcripts with openSMILE and Whisper — offline, no per-seat fees.

Flow Designer

Drag-and-drop blocks and trials. Upload your own images and videos. Surveys, websites, text — nested, randomized, event-locked.

Dashboards & export

Per-session and group dashboards, timeline replay with screen video, gaze maps on the real stimulus, and tidy CSV/R + Excel export.

How it works

From idea to statistics in six steps

The home screen opens with this exact path — and a first-login tour that explains every feature.

1

Select sensors

Pick devices from the catalog.

2

Calibrate

Verify eye-tracker accuracy.

3

Build the study

Design the stimulus flow.

4

Run & record

Present + capture, on one clock.

5

Analyze

Dashboards, gaze maps, groups.

6

Export

CSV (R-ready) & Excel.

Hardware-agnostic

Bring almost any device

A 42-device catalog routes each through the right open path — Lab Streaming Layer, BrainFlow, a vendor SDK, or an open ML model.

LSL-tier devices need no extra driver — just point biosync at the stream.

Why biosync

Research-grade, without the lock-in

Built on the validated open research stack — open methods, your data in open formats, and nothing locked away behind a vendor.

Own your data & methods

Self-hosted, self-contained session files (HDF5/XDF), open analyzers, and tidy exports you can take straight into R or Python.

Reliability built in

Verify-resolve recording, autosave, and live signal-quality monitoring catch a bad electrode or lost tracker before the session is wasted.

Validate before you trust

A per-device validation harness checks rate, channels, quality and a known-signal test, and saves a pass/fail report.

Friendly by design

A guided first-login tour, drag-and-drop study builder, and a one-command self-test that confirms every subsystem.
