BCI++
bci++BCI++ is a framework dedicated to the development and fast prototyping of Brain-Computer Interface systems, pc-driven protocols for a variety of bio-signal acquisition paradigms and BCI-based applications.

The BCI++ features two main modules communicating via TCP/IP connnection: a module dedicated to signal acquisition, storage and visualization, real-time execution and management of custom algorithms (developed using C/C++ or Matlab®) and a Graphic User Interface module dedicated to pc-driven protocols development based on a high-level 2D/3D Graphic Engine (Irrlicht).

The BCI++ framework guarantees ease of use, high flexibility and powerful solutions for the development of complex paradigms and immersive protocols oriented both to the in-lab research and to end-user application.
