LabStreamingLayer into BCILAB / EEGLAB / MATLAB

Winslow_Strong · January 2016

I'm wondering if anyone can confirm openBCI working with LSL and point to what code they used to do it? The most official thing I've stumbled upon is this repo: https://github.com/alxrsngrtn/OpenBCI-LSL

But still the LSL repo itself doesn't have any OpenBCI app within it: https://github.com/sccn/labstreaminglayer/tree/master/Apps

I have no need to stream into Matlab per se.

Thanks!

Hi,

The most straightforward way IMHO would be to use the python software, that comes with a LSL "plugins", see https://github.com/OpenBCI/OpenBCI_Python

Thanks, Jfrey! That worked for me, and I posted a walk-thru here:

Hi dears,

I am new to BCILAB.

Could any one tell me how to load new EEG signal to BCILAB for classification of artifact and original EEG signal

Any help / suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi all,

I have kind of basic questions regarding LSL and matlab. I have trying to understand but I am a bit confused. I have LSL, the python plugin and bcilab on my computer. I am not able to stream data with the LSL-matlab functions when I don't load bcilab, does it mean we can only stream data with bcilab? If yes, why is it the case?

Thanks!
Hannah

I delete my previous post...For those who may have been confused too, LSL do not need bcilab (my lsl library was just not working).

I am using LSL but i am suck at a point where it says "Looking for a device with type ="EEG" but doesn't do anything,neither gives an error nor it ends.I dont know its the operating system issue or what. I am using Windows 10 and Matlab R2015b

Check out this guide for streaming data from LSL and into MATLAB: https://irenevigueguix.wordpress.com/2016/07/22/openbci-lab-streaming-layer-lsl/

As for receiving the data in BCILAB the demo may be of use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sup2SaJyFQE

Hey, I am trying to stream openbci data using openBCI_LSL to MATLAB BCILAB. It appears BCILAB waits for data and never gets data eventhough I can consume LSL data using python. Need help

mizanur36 · October 2018

BTW, I am using Mac Sierra. It appears liblsl64.dylib that is in dependencies foder in BCILAB has been compiled 5 years aga and tested on Mountain Lion. But appears same lib may not be working in Mac Sierra. Any idea?

If you want to see if LSL is running correctly into MATLAB, I would try the ReceiveData function.

As for the dependencies, check out the labstreaminglayer repo: https://github.com/sccn/labstreaminglayer

mizanur36 · October 2018

Yes, I tried ReceiveData in MATLAB. It doesn't receive anything. Waits for the stream indefinitely. I am using Mac Seirra. Did you get it working in Mac?

Has anyone tried running on Windows? There are several posts / webpages that prove it has worked there. The libraries are likely more up to date on Windows. Such as Irene's page,

It appears the issue was the liblsl64.dylib version. I have downloaded a newer version from https://github.com/Epist/bci_focus/blob/master/Server/bin/liblsl64.dylib link and now I can see LSL stream in MATLAB

Do you want to get real time data in MATLAB? I was facing the same issue when I was working on real time data analysis, there is a easy way out, just load the text file in which OpenBCI is writing its data and read the chunks of data from it
