Open-Source EDA Signal Processing Tools
15 open-source tools for electrodermal activity (EDA) data, most often in Python and MATLAB. Each listing shows its licence, commercial use and last commit.
What open-source tools process EDA and skin conductance signals from wearables?
Electrodermal activity (EDA), also called galvanic skin response, measures changes in skin conductance linked to sweat gland activity.

Questions about open-source EDA tools
What is EDA?
Electrodermal activity (EDA), also called galvanic skin response, measures changes in skin conductance linked to sweat gland activity.
How many open-source EDA tools are listed?
15. The most common categories are signal processing (10), signal quality (2) and data collection platform (2).
Which programming languages do open-source EDA tools use?
Python (12) and MATLAB (3). A tool that names more than one language is counted under each.
Can I use these EDA tools in a commercial product?
It depends on each licence. Of the 15 tools, 13 list commercial use as yes, 0 as no and 2 do not state it. Each tool page shows the licence exactly as the project publishes it; read the licence in the project repository before you build on it.
Listings, summaries, licences and commercial-use fields are shown as recorded for each project, as of Oct 21, 2026. Maintenance is computed from the date of the last commit. Check the licence in each project’s repository before you use it.
