g.Pype

g.Pype is a Python Software Development Kit (SDK) for building neuroscience and Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) applications. It is designed to be simple to use, with a clear and well-documented coding interface with many examples that help you get started quickly. It provides essential building blocks that can be combined and adapted to your needs, while remaining open to integration with other Python packages. g.Pype runs pipelines in real time or offline over a recording, on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Quickstart

Install gpype and clone the GitHub repository:

pip install "gpype[all]"
git clone https://github.com/gtec-medical-engineering/gpype.git

g.Pype supports Python 3.10 to 3.14. On Windows with Python 3.13 or 3.14, gpype[all] leaves out EDF support, because its package, pyedflib, publishes no wheel there; pip install "gpype[formats]" adds it where Microsoft C++ Build Tools are installed.

Navigate to the subfolder ./gpype/examples and run the example scripts directly from your IDE (e.g., VS Code, PyCharm, ...).

Supported devices and platforms

Any other device joins through Lab Streaming Layer or UDP beside a g.tec amplifier, and a pipeline runs on the built-in signal generator with no hardware at all. The full table, with channels, rates and extras, is in the manual's Supported Devices and Platforms; measured timing accuracy on every amplifier and platform is on its benchmarks page.
