BrainAccess Board has been updated to 2.5.0 for both Windows and Linux operating systems. Apart from minor bug fixes it includes the release of Python API for the BrainAccess Board. The Python API enables access of Board functionality using Python programming language that includes:

  • Direct real-time access of the EEG data stream/buffer
  • Adding/removing annotation stream or other LSL (Lab Streaming Layer) based streams
  • Starting/stopping the recording of data and other commands

This simplifies most experiment setups for users using Python programming language as all the data buffering, synchronization with annotations and data saving is done by the Board. Please check the Board’s Python API documentation here (https://www.brainaccess.ai/documentation/board-python-api/)

The new BrainAccess Board version is available for download here.

    Understanding Hyperscanning and Why BrainAccess Is Built for It

    Hyperscanning means recording EEG from two or more people at once while they interact, instead of studying one brain at a time. Researchers use it to see whether people’s brain activity synchronize during things like music duets, cooperative or competitive games, and even flight simulations with pilot pairs. Running these studies is technically tricky, since…

    As football takes center stage with the World Cup 2026 underway, an interesting question emerges: how should the next generation of players train? A recent preprint from Turkish researchers found that young professional footballers who trained with VR outperformed those using traditional methods in balance, speed, and strength, with measurable neurological changes tracked via the…

    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…
