TITLE=Building an open-source community to enhance autonomic nervous system signal analysis: DBDP-autonomic JOURNAL=Frontiers in Digital Health VOLUME=Volume 6 - 2024 YEAR=2025 URL=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/digital-health/articles/10.3389/fdgth.2024.1467424 DOI=10.3389/fdgth.2024.1467424 ISSN=2673-253X ABSTRACT=Smartphones and wearable sensors offer an unprecedented ability to collect peripheral psychophysiological signals across diverse timescales, settings, populations, and modalities. However, open-source software development has yet to keep pace with rapid advancements in hardware technology and availability, creating an analytical barrier that limits the scientific usefulness of acquired data. We propose a community-driven, open-source peripheral psychophysiological signal pre-processing and analysis software framework that could advance biobehavioral health by enabling more robust, transparent, and reproducible inferences involving autonomic nervous system data.
