Sending information from an application to BCI2000

[minamoheb]

Hello,

I am new to BCI2000 and I'd like to know whether there is a way to send information from an application to BCI2000.

And Is there a way to pause and continue the signal acquisition from an application?


Thank you

Hi,

This is a very good question.

You can control BCI2000 from other applications in two ways:
1) On a run-by-run basis
2) Within a run

ad 1)

See http://www.bci2000.org/wiki/index.php/U ... _Scripting
for command line options. With these, you can load defined parameter files, set the configuration, and start the system.

ad 2)

Within a run, you can control BCI2000 by injecting values for particular states into the running system using the AppConnector protocol described on

http://www.bci2000.org/wiki/index.php/T ... _Connector

Specifically to your question, you can set state "Running" to 0/1 to suspend/resume operation, or state "Recording" to 0/1 to stop/start recording.

Mina,

Actually, to correct myself: you can currently not resume operation using the Running state and the AppConnector.
