Python API for Mentalab biosignal aquisition devices

A Python API for Mentalab biosignal aquisition devices

Requirements

• Python 3.5 or newer version
• numpy
• pybluez (check their repo for the requirements of pybluez)
• pylsl
• scipy
• bokeh

Installation

To install explorepy from PyPI run:

pip install git+https://github.com/Mentalab-hub/explorepy

Example use

CLI command: explorepy acquire -n Explore_XXXX

Enter explorepy -h for help.

The following code connects to the Explore device and prints the data.

import explorepy
explorer = explorepy.Explore()
explorer.connect(device_name="Explore_XXXX")  # Put your device Bluetooth name
explorer.acquire()

You can also visualize signal in real-time.

import explorepy
explorer = explorepy.Explore()
explorer.connect(device_name="Explore_XXXX")  # Put your device Bluetooth name
explorer.visualize(n_chan=4, bp_freq=(1, 30), notch_freq=50)  # Give the number of channels, frequencies of bandpass and notch filter
