Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Signal Processing
Computational Biology

Background:

Electroencephalography (EEG) data preprocessing is crucial for accurate analysis but often manual, time-consuming, and prone to errors.
Existing automated pipelines can irreversibly alter data, hindering reproducibility and collaboration.
There is a need for efficient, transparent, and non-destructive EEG preprocessing tools.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce PyLossless, a novel automated preprocessing pipeline for EEG data.
To provide a non-destructive approach that preserves the original EEG signal structure.
To enhance data sharing and facilitate analysis-specific artifact rejection policies.

Main Methods:

Developed a lossless, automated preprocessing pipeline for EEG data.
Integrated a user-friendly API, comprehensive documentation, and continuous integration testing.
Incorporated a browser-based Quality Control Review (QCR) dashboard for artifact visualization and editing.
Ensured compatibility with the MNE-Python environment.

Main Results:

PyLossless maintains the continuous EEG structure without irreversible data transformation.
The pipeline allows researchers to visualize and edit artifact flags through the QCR dashboard.
The output is a lossless annotated data state, promoting data sharing and flexible analysis.
PyLossless is well-documented, tested, deployable, and integrates with MNE-Python.

Conclusions:

PyLossless offers an efficient and transparent solution for EEG data preprocessing.
The non-destructive approach enhances reproducibility and collaboration among researchers.
The tool balances standardization with the flexibility required for diverse EEG analyses.
