MIT-BIH Database Distribution

Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology

Welcome!

We invite you to visit PhysioNet, the on-line component of the Research Resource for Complex Physiologic Signals, where you will find the data, software, and reference materials previously posted here or included on our CD-ROMs, and much more.

Since 1999, with the support of the National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health, we have been able to make a large amount of our data and software available freely via PhysioNet. Our CD-ROMs contained only a small fraction of the data and software freely available on PhysioNet. Everything previously available on our CD-ROMs is now downloadable without cost from PhysioNet, and we encourage you to use this service.

Our laboratory, the Laboratory for Computational Physiology, is part of the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.
We collaborate closely with colleagues at
- the Margret & H.A. Rey Laboratory for Nonlinear Dynamics in Medicine at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
- the Center for Polymer Studies at Boston University
- Boston's Hebrew Rehabilitation Center for Aged
- the Laboratory of Biomedical Computer Systems and Imaging at the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia)
- the National Research Council (CNR) Institute of Clinical Physiology in Pisa (Italy)
- the Center for Nonlinear Dynamics in Physiology and Medicine at McGill University
Here is a brief exploration of heart rate time series, with examples.
Meet us at Computers in Cardiology! We hosted the 1986 and 2000 annual conferences and attend CinC regularly.
