Getting Started
You'll need at least 3 pieces of software in order to run the Wustl-BCI project:
In order to develop your own signal processing, you'll also need Matlab, Labview, or the ability to program BCI2000 in C++.
- Matlab
- Labview
- BCI2000 Development
Dropbox
The Wustl-BCI team operates using the Dropbox web application. Dropbox is a cloud storage program. You can access it from a browser or like any other folder on your local computer. To run BCI2000 from Dropbox, you’ll need to have Dropbox installed on your computer.
- go to http://www.dropbox.com
Once you have an account, contact a group officer to be invited to the shared folder. You must have dropbox before you can access much of the software
Emotiv
The Emotiv EPOC headset requires software drivers in order to communicate with your computer. The drivers are bundled into a package of Emotiv software. On the group dropbox, the installer filepath is:
\Emotiv\Emotiv Education Edition SDK v1.0.0.4-PREMIUM-Installer.exe
To install, you'll need the serial key and order ID, found in
\Emotiv\Emotiv Info.txt
The Emotiv software package includes:
- Control Panel - for viewing electrode contact quality & interfacing with other Emotiv software
- TestBench - for viewing the EEG signal in time or frequency domains. Also show's gyroscope data
- EmoKey - for mapping Emotiv outputs to keyboard inputs (i.e. control your keyboard with your mind)
You'll best appreciate the functionality of Emotiv by exploring these applications. Note that other Emotiv applications are available on http://www.emotiv.com . For starters, try Spirit Mountain Demo.
