=<b>What is BCI2000?</b>=
BCI2000 is a free, open-source, general-purpose software system for brain-computer interface (BCI) research.
BCI2000 includes software tools that can acquire and process data, present stimuli and feedback, and manage interaction with outside devices such as robotic arms. BCI2000 is a real-time system that can synchronize EEG and other signals with a wide variety of biosignals and input devices such as mice or eye-trackers. It has several modules to manage data importing and exporting in common file formats. BCI2000 operates on most Windows systems, and the source code can be compiled on most Windows machines.

What is BCI2000?

BCI2000 is a free, open-source, general-purpose software system for brain-computer interface (BCI) research. BCI2000 includes software tools that can acquire and process data, present stimuli and feedback, and manage interaction with outside devices such as robotic arms. BCI2000 is a real-time system that can synchronize EEG and other signals with a wide variety of biosignals and input devices such as mice or eye-trackers. It has several modules to manage data importing and exporting in common file formats. BCI2000 operates on most Windows systems, and the source code can be compiled on most Windows machines.
