BrainAccess SDK update

BrainAccess SDK Version Update to 3.0.0

Greta Tikužytė Avatar

BrainAccess SDK has been updated to 3.0.0 for both Windows and Linux operating systems. It reflects the BrainAccess Hardware update that started using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity. It results in reduced energy consumption and increased operating times of the devices. See the hardware update note.

Main changes in BrainAccess SDK:

  • Use BLE communication with BrainAccess devices.
  • It is no longer needed to pair with devices before they can be used by the Board.
  • API no longer uses asynchronous calls.

BrainAccess devices with serial numbers starting with digits ‘22’ will only work with SDK version 3.0.0 or higher. Older devices with serial numbers starting with digits ‘21’ will only work with SDK versions 2.3.x.

The new BrainAccess SDK version is available for download here.

    A Guide to EEG Electrode Placement: The 10–20 System Explained

    If you are thinking about conducting EEG research, you may have come across the term International 10–20 System, often used when referring to electrode positions on an EEG cap. But what does it actually mean? In this article we provide a short overview and discuss why it still so important in EEG research today. Electroencephalography…

    From Literature to Live Data: LLMs as Full-Cycle Research Companions

    For decades, the challenge in neuroscience has not only been collecting brain data, it has been making sense of it. EEG signals are noisy, high-dimensional, and shaped by dozens of interacting variables. Interpreting them well has traditionally required years of specialist training. But a growing body of evidence suggests that large language models (LLMs) may…

    Can lying on a vibrating table listening to carefully crafted audio actually change your brain? A team of Portuguese engineers built a system to find out and the results are surprisingly measurable. Sound therapy is one of those ideas that sits awkwardly between ancient wisdom and modern science. Cultures across history have used chanting, singing…
