What open source software is recommended to analyze the output file for event related potentials?

Hi,

I am just a home layman, who became interested in this technology - I am new to the field, and want to extract event-related potentials.  I was hoping I could:
  • record the activity generated while I remain motionless, and then start performing actions
  • have an ability to detect the performed actions (live and in later data analysis) by reviewing the activity in a GUI
  • identify and review the actions in the order to which they occurred
  • define the various actions so that they can be found in other samples
  • analyze the raw data, looking for new event related potentials (actions)

What software would be best suited for this type of analysis?  I am not an industry professional with a budget for this, so I am on limited funds.  I am currently trying to get EEGLAB going, and have been recently able to convert the OpenBCI format into a readable EEGLAB format, import the data, ensure correct channel locations, apply a filter, review the data for bad channels and artifacts, and run ICA.  But I have to read more to continue from there.........  It seems like MATLAB is required to be able to perform more complex analytics.  

If MATLAB and EEGLAB are recommended - then what version of MATLAB can I buy?

Thanks,
Don

    See this thread on a P300 Speller using OpenViBE. Jeremy created a tutorial, also linked there. HOWEVER, it's also in flux as noted in the later posts. OpenViBE does not use MATLAB or EEGLAB.

    Hi William,

    I downloaded the OpenVibe software (1.3.0), and followed the instructions on the 3rd Party Software > OpenVibe web page on the OpenBCI website.   When I run the filter in the designer, I only see 8 channels, even though I configured the Acquisition Server to use the Daisy board.  In the OpenBCI example, two raw eeg viewers open on the screen - but only one opens on mine.  How do I get the second window to open so I can see channels 9 to 16?

    When I look at the logs, I see:
     OpenBCI: Status - Daisy module option enabled, 19 channels -- 16 EEG and 3 accelerometer -- at 125Hz.
    [  INF  ] OpenBCI: Successfully opened port [\\.\COM5]
    [  INF  ] OpenBCI: Stopping board streaming...
    [  INF  ] OpenBCI: Soft reseting of the board...
    [  INF  ] OpenBCI: Starting stream...
    [  INF  ] OpenBCI: Status ready (initialization took 1757ms)
    [  INF  ] Connection succeeded !
    [  INF  ] Starting the acquisition...
    [  INF  ] Now acquiring...

    Would you know why the second window is not appearing?

    Thanks,
    Don
