Agreeing to the GPL

Access to BCI2000 is provided under the GNU General Public License (GPL). To obtain a BCI2000 user account, you may agree to the terms of the GPL, and sign up as a BCI2000 user, on this page. Once there exists a user account for your lab, this account may be used to create further accounts for users affiliated with your lab.

NOTE: BCI2000 user accounts, as dicussed on this page, are independent of user accounts for the BCI2000 Community Forum. There, anyone interested in BCI2000 may create a user account. Also, you will need to create your own Community Forum account in order to post on the forum, even if you already have your own BCI2000 user account.

Creating additional accounts for your lab

To simplify account management and provide as many user accounts as necessary, we provide a web interface for account creation. Everyone with a BCI2000 user account may create new accounts as he or she needs them, e.g., to supply new team members with individual accounts without going through the signup process.

Creating a new account

Please go to http://www.bci2000.org/useradmin/adduser and log in with your user name and password. From there, follow the instructions to create as many user accounts as you need. As a rule of thumb, we suggest that you create an account for each member of your lab who might submit a BCI2000 bug report.

"Upgrading" bciro

As a special case, the adduser web interface may also be used to "upgrade" existing read-only accounts. Log in with the existing bciro account, and create an individual account for yourself.

Restrictions

Default user rights

By default, a new user account will have these rights:

Editing the documentation wiki,
Submitting bug reports,
Read access to the source code.

If you need additional user rights, e.g. if you would like to submit a contribution, please contact an administrator.

Resetting/recovering a password

There is no way to recover a lost password. If you lost your password, please contact an administrator for a new one.
