The Muse headband & LabStreamingLayer & Rasperry Pi – is there really no solution?

Last Updated on January 25, 2025 by pg@petergamma.org

Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org

who currently only uses a Fenix 6

wants to upgrade his lab. The Muse Headband with the Raspberry Pi would be an interesting solution.

We have two issues about this topic from experts at the highest level for the Muse headband and the Raspberry Pi, and these are:

Flavio Fröhlich, PhD Assistant Professor in Psychiatry, Cell Biology and Physiology, Biomedical Engineering, and Neurology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

He has opened an issue concerning the Raspberry Pi 4:

Issue with EEG Stream on Raspberry PI 4 #140

https://github.com/alexandrebarachant/muse-lsl/issues/140#top

Then we have another issue with pylsl and the Raspberry Pi:

pylsl not working on RaspberryPi #36

https://github.com/labstreaminglayer/pylsl/issues/36

Another expert for the Muse headband and Raspberry Pi is:

John Griffiths:

“FYI, I’m collecting installation notes and other misc code and info for raspberry pi muselsl and eeg-not”

https://github.com/JohnGriffiths/eegnb_rpi

See installation_notes.md for an apparently functioning installation procedure.

The problem seems to mainly concern the Raspberry Pi 4. But people seem to have get to work older models with LSL and the Muse. For the Raspberry Pi 4 we do not know of anyone who would reliably confirm that the Raspberry Pi 4 works with LSL.

So one solution could be to try if the Raspberry Pi 3 still works with the Muse and LSL

And if you want to use the Raspberry Pi 4, there is a solution for OpenBCI with BrainFlow:
