How to Get Physiological Sensor Data from OpenBCI and Emotiv Into InfluxDB?

  • There are demos available from AJ Keller to connect the OpenBCI WIFI shield to the OpenBCI GUI
  • We do not know of anyone who did an EEG life stream over the OpenBCI WIFI shield to other applications than the OpenBCI GUI
  • There is a 32 channel EEG board available on Aliexpress. But it offers only a Keil software interface. We do not know of anyone who uses it.
  • The Epoc Flex 32 offers a LabStreamingInterface. It requires to use Epoc Flex software which costs a monthly fee. The recommendation on Researchgate is to change to alternatives for Emotiv as soon as possible. But we do not know of any alternatives of a 32 channel EEG system with LabStreamingLayer support, which costs less than the Epoc Flex 32 system offered by Emotiv.
  • If we do not want to develop soft- and hardware solutions no one has developed as far as we know ever before, let us choose the established solutions over LabStreamingLayer, also for Python. There is a Python LSL solution available, which requires a non ARM based processor. This solution is supported by the Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience.
