They are coming from a Biopac system but this is not the main problem.
Im especially looking for algorithms that can be used to calculate HRV and heart rate frequency of the heart beats, respiration frequency of respiration data, handle and filter out blinks in the pupil data. So i wondered if there is a toolbox or set of functions which can handle/preprocess all kinds of physiological data. If not, maybe there is a tutorial somewhere how to preprocess these kinds of data in existing python libraries, such as numpy, scipy,..?
