BCI2000

... is a widely used general-purpose system for brain-computer interface (BCI) research. It can also be used for data acquisition, stimulus presentation, and brain monitoring applications. The mission of the BCI2000 project is to facilitate research and applications in these areas.

In its user contribution area it features an RDA client interfacing with the BrainVision Recorder and can therefore be connected with all Brain Products amplifiers. Furthermore there is a source module that allows accessing the Brain Products V-Amp directly.

BCI2VR - Brain-Computer Interface to Virtual reality

... is a MATLAB ® -based software system for neural signal processing and classification developed in the EEG&BCI Lab of Virginia Commonwealth University, Department of Engineering.

It features a MATLAB ® RDA client to interface with Brain Products amplifiers through the BrainVision Recorder.

BCILAB

... is an open-source, cross-platform (Windows/Linux/MacOS) environment for advanced BCI research based on MATLAB ® with a bias towards general-purpose cognitive state assessment rather than traditional patient BCI.

The toolbox allows for rapid prototyping of new BCI methods, offline testing and performance evaluation, visualization of BCI models, online processing, and communication with different stimulus presentation software and acquisition hard- and software, including BrainVision Recorder.

The main features of BCILAB are its easy extensibility through plugins (machine learning, signal processing, etc.) and its large set (currently about 70) of existing components.

OpenViBE

... is a C++ based platform for developing and testing BCI and real-time neuroscience applications.  
The platform stands out for its high modularity and addresses the needs of programmers as well as of non-programmers, providing a user-friendly graphical language which allows even non-programmers to design a BCI without writing a single line of code.

OpenViBE features source modules that allow you to directly access your Brain Products V-Amp as well as the BrainAmp Standard, BrainAmp DC, BrainAmp MR and BrainAmp MR plus. Other Brain Products amplifiers can be accessed indirectly
by a source module that implements an RDA client which allows TCP/IP communication with the BrainVision Recorder.
Please note that this implementation is not stable yet at the moment.

Brain Products demonstrates Brain-Controlled Car Racing Game

Some people say that 2011 will turn out to be THE year of brain-computer interface (BCI). Time will tell whether this is actually the case. However, as we are always eager to match the requirements and expectations of our customers as closely as possible, and as the number of customers who use our equipment for BCI research has grown quite rapidly during the past year, we are continuously working to improve the product range we have developed for BCI applications.

For those of you who don't know yet what we can offer for BCI research, we'd like to present a video that gives you a better impression of how our hard- and software (including a prototype of dry electrodes) can be used in this field, for example to control a device(here an adapted car racing game) in real-time using alpha waves.

For comments and questions, please contact us ().

Brain Products & Team PhyPa present Brain-Controlled Computer Game at MEDICA

Brain-Computer-Interface (BCI) has become a popular research area in neurophysiology over the last years. And, of course, Brain Products has gotten more and more involved in the BCI field as well.

In the context of last years‘ MEDICA in Düsseldorf / Germany, we publicly demonstrated that we are indeed able to provide everything you need for your BCI experiments.

In cooperation with Thorsten Zander and Sebastian Welke (TU Berlin / Human-Machine Systems / Team PhyPa) we presented a brain-controlled computer game at our booth. The goal of the game: The more relaxed the player, the higher is his score! This probably sounds pretty easy, but in fact is trickier than you may think if the player is sitting in huge and crowded exhibition hall being surrounded by various noises and impressions.

Brain Products & Fraunhofer FIRST present Brain-Controlled Pinball Game

In cooperation with Prof. Dr. Klaus-Robert Müller, Dr. Michael Tangermann and Dr. Benjamin Blankertz from TU Berlin (Fraunhofer FIRST.IDA / Berlin Brain Computer Interface) we presented a brain-controlled pinball game in September 2007.

Back then Dr. Benjamin Blankertz played pinball without using his hands ... The pinball machine was only controlled by his brain.

This very same pinball game demonstration was presented to a broader public as well as the press in June 2009.
