Abstract
We first discuss two MATLAB-centered solutions for real-time data streaming, the environments FieldTrip (Donders Institute, Nijmegen) and DataSuite (Data- River, Producer, MatRiver) (Swartz Center, La Jolla). We illustrate the relative simplicity of coding BCI feature extraction and classification under MATLAB (The Mathworks, Inc.) using a minimalist BCI example, and then describe BCILAB (Team PhyPa, Berlin), a new BCI package that uses the data structures and extends the capabilities of the widely used EEGLAB signal processing environment. We finally review the range of standalone and MATLAB-based software currently freely available to BCI researchers.
