NPXLab free EEG/BCI analysis package / data file formats

Luigi · January 2018

Hi, I'm quite new to OpenBCI and I'd like to add support to my free SW (NPXLab) to OpenBCI data. Where can I find some OpenBCI data files to test my SW?

Thank you in advance,

Luigi

Thank you, but still I cannot find any file to download...

Thank you very much. However, I've just found ASCII files. This means that the native file format is not a binary file?

The default output from the GUI is a CSV text file. However it can also output in other formats such as BDF, LSL, OSC, ...

Thank you William. I'd like to easily allow to provide access to my NPXLab Suite (http://www.brainterface.com/joomla2/npxlab-suite) and it seems to that there are two ways to achieve this:

1) Add support to NPX file format to OpenBCI GUI

2) Add support to LSL and OSC to NPXLab. Actually CSV and BDF are supported, but a file conversion is required.

Thank you again very very much,

Luigi

Luigi, thanks.

I took a quick look at your NPXLab site, very cool. It does look like your tool is for working with files, as opposed to real-time streaming. The LSL and OSC are stream outputs. BDF is a file output. It sounds like you can read BDF easily.

You could log a request for adding NPX format to our issues page,

https://github.com/OpenBCI/OpenBCI_GUI/issues

But to be honest, that would likely be a low priority, given other items already in the queue.

Can you add the NPXLab to this thread?
