Brain-Robot Interface
Open ViBE has been released <http://openvibe.inria.fr>
It is an open-source platform that enables software engineers to design, test and use
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). Broadly speaking, OpenViBE can be used in many
real-time Neuroscience applications.
The OpenViBE platform stands out for its high modularity. It addresses the needs of different
types of users (programmers and non-programmers) and proposes a user-friendly graphical
language which allows non-programmers to design a BCI without writing a single line of
code.
OpenViBE is portable, independent of hardware or software targets, can run under Windows
and Linux and is entirely based on free and open-source software. OpenViBE is compatible
with MATLAB programming.
OpenViBE comes with preconfigured scenarios and runs already existing applications such
as :
* BCI based on motor imagery
* P300 speller
* Neurofeedback
* Real-time visualization of brain activity in 2D or 3D
OpenViBE is available under the terms of the LGPL-v2+. The whole software is developed in
C++. It consists of a set of software modules that can be integrated easily and efficiently to
design BCI applications such as for Virtual Reality interaction. Key features of the platform
are:
* *Modularity and reusability* Our platform is a set of software modules dedicated to the
acquisition, pre-processing, processing and visualization of cerebral data, as well as to the
interaction with VR displays. OpenViBE is a general purpose software, which implies users
should be able to easily add new software modules in order to fit their particular needs.
* *Different tools for various users* OpenViBE is designed for different types of user:
clinicians, signal processing researchers, computer/human interaction developers etc.
Their various needs are addressed and different tools are proposed for each of them,
depending on their programming skills and their knowledge in brain processes.
* *Portable software* The platform operates independently from the different software and
hardware targets. It includes an abstraction allowing to run with various acquisition
machines, such as EEG or MEG. It can run on Windows and Linux and also includes
different data visualisation techniques.
* *Connection with virtual reality* Our software can be integrated with high-end VR
applications. OpenViBE can serve as an external peripheral to connect a BCI system to any
kind of VR application. It also takes advantage of VR displays , allowing to visualize cerebral
activity more efficiently or to provide incentive training environments (e.g., for
neurofeedback).
