Neuron Lab vs standard neuroscience toolkits

Every row below runs the same computeAnalysis engine the app uses, on deterministic fixtures matching canonical public datasets — and compares the measured value against published results from established neuroscience tools (MNE-Python, EEGLAB, FieldTrip, YASA, Elephant, SpikeInterface, Brainbox, and Brainstorm). Nothing here is precomputed.

Fixtures are deterministic reproductions of each dataset's canonical signal properties, not the datasets themselves, so results are reproducible byte-for-byte in the browser. Peer-tool numbers are drawn from the cited publications and toolkit documentation. Research use only — not a medical device.
