Why is the Muse Headband better for EEG life-stream than OpenBCI? – PETER GAMMA (Director & Physiologist), MEDITATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE SWITZERLAND (MRIS)

For OpenBCI we have OpenBCI GUI, but if we want for instance respiration rate in real time:

Why should one use Matlab in the year 2024 – because of OpenBCI, LSL & the Matlab respiratory rate estimation toolbox

Matlab is better. We have in Matlab also ECG toolbox. Then we have EEGLAB. But EEGLAB is not a real-time software, but only bcilab. But who uses bcilab exept for Christian Andreas Kothe?

A real-time EEG solution we have from EEGLAB developer Arnaud Delorme, and that is NeuroFeedbackLab which is most brobably based on BCILAB:

So we approaching a Mind Monitor based on OpenBCI in real-time
We can start with the Muse Headband and Neurofeedbacklab
We have respiration rate in real-time
ecg heart rate in real time
and EEG data in real time from the Muse headband.
And if we have understood NeuroFeedbackLab for the Muse headband, we can use it also with OpenBCI.
