Convert EEG to another file type
To convert your EEG file to another format, you need Cadwell NeuroWorks or other Data software.
Convert a file to EEG
To convert other file formats to the "Medical Signal Data" file type, you need software like Cadwell NeuroWorks or a similar tool.
About EEG files
A .eeg file is a proprietary data format used to store Electroencephalography recordings - measurements of electrical activity in the brain. These files are typically generated by specialized medical hardware from manufacturers like Cadwell (Easy III, NeuroWorks), Nihon Kohden (Neurofax), and Medicom MTD. Because each manufacturer uses a unique, often undocumented binary structure to encode voltage data, sensor placement, and patient metadata, opening an .eeg file without the original $20,000+ acquisition software is a frequent challenge for researchers and neurologists. This proprietary lock-in severely limits data portability and prevents analysis in standard scientific platforms. To bypass these restrictions, the most effective workflow is converting .eeg data into the universal European Data Format (.EDF) or .EDF+ for broad compatibility. For analysis in statistical environments like MATLAB or EEGLAB, converting to MAT or comma-separated CSV text files allows for direct manipulation of the signal data arrays.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EEG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert EEG file to EDF, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT or DB, you can use Cadwell NeuroWorks or similar software from the "Brainwave Signal Recording" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to EEG, try Cadwell NeuroWorks or another comparable tool in the "Brainwave Signal Recording" category.
The EEG Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our EEG converter.
