Replay pre-recorded cursor position data with BCI2000

[rabiri]

Hello All,
I have a pre-recorded cursor position data file (X,Y). The data was recorded from a cursor control task for some minutes. I wonder how can I reload/replay this file by BCI2000 to be able to control the cursor position/velocity in cursor task application? For training phase for the subject, I want to control the cursor position/velocity with the computer and meanwhile trying to record the brain activities of a subject.

Thanks for your help,
Reza

Rabiri,

one way to accomplish what you want to do is to use the DummySignalProcessing module with the ExpressionFilter. You load the data into MATLAB (load_bcidat), where you create the necessary velocity values for x and y and store them into a new state. You then save the data file to a new one (save_bcidat) You then use the ExpressionFilter where you specify these two states to transfer them to the CursorTask application. Let me know if this works.

Hello Peter,
Thanks for your reply and support.

I am working with BCI2000 (3.0.5). I could save the data and velocities into a new file (by using save_bcidat). Right now, I have the ExpressionFilter, but I am not sure how to tell BCI2000 to read my saved file. ExpressionFilter has three options: StartRunExpression, StopRunExpression, and Expressions. What should I do to be able to read my saved data particularly the new states?

I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Reza
