Brain Computer Interface Open Protocol

Researching various Brain Computer Interface and Neurofeedback systems showed that there is no common standard for information exchange between different devices, therefore different research groups cannot freely exchange their results. What is more, simple open protocol implementations does not allow to perform complex operations on target systems, such as functions and parameters control, user interaction, and result analysis. Brain Computer Interface Open Protocol is an ongoing effort to create Free and Open-Source framework for Brain Computer Interface class devices that will:

• allow to exchange measurement data between target equipment and host computer
• allow real-time applications with low-latency and high-throughput binary protocol
• allow to control functions and parameters of the target device
• allow to storage measurement results and their analysis at later time
• allow implementation of user interaction and other research related events
• have form of library that can be linked into small footprint firmware and full featured host software
• easily adapt to hardware specific needs such as data format, sampling speed, or timer intervals
• many more...
