    Design
    --------

    *NeuroKit2* is designed to provide a **consistent**, **accessible** yet **powerful** and **flexible** API.

    - **Consistency**: For each type of signals (ECG, RSP, EDA, EMG...), the same function names are called (in the form :code:`signaltype_functiongoal()`) to achieve equivalent goals, such as :code:`*_clean()`, :code:`*_findpeaks()`, :code:`*_process()`, :code:`*_plot()` (replace the star with the signal type, e.g., :code:`ecg_clean()`).
    - **Accessibility**: Using NeuroKit2 is made very easy for beginners through the existence of powerful high-level "master" functions, such as :code:`*_process()`, that performs cleaning, preprocessing and processing with sensible defaults.
    - **Flexibility**: However, advanced users can very easily build their own custom analysis pipeline by using the mid-level functions (such as :code:`*_clean()`, :code:`*_rate()`), offering more control and flexibility over their parameters.

Physiological Data Analysis
----------------------------

The analysis of physiological data usually comes in two types, **event-related** or **interval-related**.



.. image:: https://raw.github.com/neuropsychology/NeuroKit/master/docs/readme/features.png


Event-related
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This type of analysis refers to physiological changes immediately occurring in response to an event.
For instance, physiological changes following the presentation of a stimulus (e.g., an emotional stimulus) are indicated by
the dotted lines in the figure above. In this situation, the analysis is epoch-based.
An epoch is a short chunk of the physiological signal (usually < 10 seconds), that is locked to a specific stimulus and hence
the physiological signals of interest are time-segmented accordingly. This is represented by the orange boxes in the figure above.
In this case, using `bio_analyze()` will compute features like rate changes, peak characteristics, and phase characteristics.

- `Event-related example <https://neuropsychology.github.io/NeuroKit/examples/bio_eventrelated/bio_eventrelated.html>`_

Interval-related
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This type of analysis refers to the physiological characteristics and features that occur over
longer periods of time (from a few seconds to days of activity). Typical use cases are either
periods of resting state, in which the activity is recorded for several minutes while the participant
is at rest, or during different conditions in which there is no specific time-locked event
(e.g., watching movies, listening to music, engaging in physical activity, etc.). For instance,
this type of analysis is used when people want to compare the physiological activity under different
intensities of physical exercise, different types of movies, or different intensities of
stress. To compare event-related and interval-related analysis, we can refer to the example figure above.
For example, a participant might be watching a 20s-long short film where particular stimuli of
interest in the movie appear at certain time points (marked by the dotted lines). While
event-related analysis pertains to the segments of signals within the orange boxes (to understand the physiological
changes pertaining to the appearance of stimuli), interval-related analysis can be
applied on the entire 20s duration to investigate how physiology fluctuates in general.
In this case, using `bio_analyze()` will compute features such as rate characteristics (in particular,
variability metrics) and peak characteristics.
