Scipy or the new x-y distro is almost identical like MatLab ( but you'll 
miss the var browser),
and therefor get started faster.

I've the same kind of applications and support medical researchers with 
collecting and analyzing physio data.
About 2 years ago I wasn't satisfied with MatLab anymore,
so I looked at LabView, SciLab, Octave and a few others,
and decided to stay with Matlab, but embed it in my own shell.
Worked with that for about half a year,
then I tried Scipy (also embedded) and found it much better than MatLab.
At the moment I switched totally to Python,
and I'm working on a Labview like environment for Python.

hopes that helps,
cheers,
Stef
