User Reference:Contents

User reference information helps you configure and perform experiments with BCI2000, using the executables that come with its binary distribution. For information about how to modify existing filters, or develop your own from scratch, see the Programming Reference section.

In the user reference section, information is available about the following topics:

Using the Online System

• User Reference:Operator Module:
  • Parameter editing,
  • saving and loading parameter files,
  • starting and stopping BCI operation.
• User Reference:Operator Module Scripting: Automated execution of operator tasks.
• User Reference:Module Command Line Options: Modifying module behavior with command line options.
• User Reference:Data File Formats: File formats supported by BCI2000.

Configuring the Online System

• User Reference:Filters: A comprehensive list of available filters, with an overview of signal processing chains for various paradigms.
• User application modules for paradigms supported out-of-the-box:

1. SMR Feedback: User Reference:CursorTask displays a feedback cursor in two or three dimensions,
2. P300 Speller: User Reference:P3SpellerTask displays a P300 speller matrix,
3. Stimulus Delivery: User Reference:StimulusPresentationTask delivers visual and auditory stimuli for evoked response or rhythm modulation experiments.

• User Reference:Parameter Changes for Version 2 helps in migrating experiments from BCI2000 version 1 to version 2.
