NeuroPy library written in python to connect, interact and get data from NeuroSky's MindWave EEG headset.
This library is based on the mindwave mindset communication protocol published by Neurosky and is tested with Neurosky Mindwave EEG headset.
setup.py
and other filespython setup.py install
from NeuroPy import NeuroPy
neuropy = NeuroPy()
neuropy.start()
method, it will start fetching data from mindwave.neuropy.stop()
Obtaining value: attention = neuropy.attention
#to get value of attention_
Other Variable attention, meditation, rawValue, delta, theta, lowAlpha, highAlpha, lowBeta, highBeta, lowGamma, midGamma, poorSignal and blinkStrength
Setting callback: A call back can be associated with all the above variables so that a function is called when the variable is updated. Syntax:
setCallBack("[variable]",callback_function)
for eg. to set a callback for attention data the syntax will be
setCallBack("attention",callback_function)
Other Variables: attention, meditation, rawValue, delta, theta, lowAlpha, highAlpha, lowBeta, highBeta, lowGamma, midGamma, poorSignal and blinkStrength
from NeuroPy import NeuroPy
from time import sleep
neuropy = NeuroPy()
def attention_callback(attention_value):
"""this function will be called everytime NeuroPy has a new value for attention"""
print ("Value of attention is: ", attention_value)
return None
neuropy.setCallBack("attention", attention_callback)
neuropy.start()
try:
while True:
sleep(0.2)
finally:
neuropy.stop()
from NeuroPy import NeuroPy
from time import sleep
neuropy = NeuroPy()
neuropy.start()
while True:
if neuropy.meditation > 70: # Access data through object
neuropy.stop()
sleep(0.2) # Don't eat the CPU cycles
I only have MindWave mobile, and therefore this library is supposed to work on it. I do not promise if it will work on other models. Another library which was suggested to me after I wrote this library can be found HERE. I have not tested that library, and cannot give any guarantees. More about the difference between the models of MindWave can be found HERE.
