EEG Analysis Software
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. EEG files are often referred to as EEG Analysis Software data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
SleepScan and Ceegraph (EEG Data) by Bio-logic Systems Corp.
This file is used by the clinical diagnostic software programs SleepScan and Ceegraph to hold the initial recording of EEG activity. They are never thereafter modified. They additionally contain montage information, and some other settings about the original recording.

Files with the EEG extension are quite widely used. This file type does not have a uniform file format. However, the following two file formats are common:

15% of all EEG files start with the bytes 90 07 0B CA 95 D7 D0 11 AF 32, which are crucial for this file format. The content consists of readable text data, which can be read using a text editor. Most of these files are 170 KB to 230 KB in size. It is a modern file type. These files are often associated with person-related data.
9% of all EEG files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "EEG-" at the beginning. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. The files are 11 MB to 800 MB in size, with a median of 35 MB. The files contain the following words: EEG-1100C V01.00 and JE-921A.

The remaining 76% of all EEG files are different files with different signatures, such as DOC and COHERENCE. Sometimes used for task, session, anodalpost, presurgery, ictal, data, ieeg, rest or subj.
