BrainAccess Board#

BrainAccess Board is a desktop application for connecting to, recording from, and reviewing biosignal hardware — BrainAccess EEG devices, any Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) stream on your network, and synthetic test signals. It runs on Windows and Linux (macOS support is planned).

Everything is organised into seven screens, reached from the left sidebar:

Screen

What it is for

Connect

Discover and connect BrainAccess headsets, LSL streams, and synthetic test sources. Check electrode contact (impedance).

Record

Capture connected sources to disk: subject / session / task / run, output folder, start and stop.

View

Watch live signals or review recordings: filters, notch, markers, spectrum, snapshots.

Folders

Open Board’s local folders: Recordings, Templates, Apps, Logs.

Convert

Batch-convert recordings to analysis formats (FIFF, SET, BDF, CSV).

Apps

Launch bundled companion apps: standalone Viewer, Stream IO, experiments, and more.

Resources

Manuals, tutorials, downloads, and updates.

A chat assistant, Jena, is available from the 💬 button in the sidebar — she can explain how your signal looks and how to use the application (see Ask Jena (chat assistant)).
