PyNeuro
PyNeuro is designed to connect NeuroSky's MindWave EEG device to Python and provide Callback functionality to provide data to your application in real time. The library is tested with Mindwave Mobie2 Headset, and runs stably.
Installation
Run the following command: pip install PyNeuro
Usage
- Importing the module:
from NeuroPy import NeuroPy
- Initializing:
pn = PyNeuro()
- After initializing, if required the callbacks can be set
- Then call
pn.connect()
method, it will connect with TCP Socket server. - Then call
pn.start()
method, it will be start fetching data. - To stop call
pn.close()
Obtaining Data from Device
-
Obtaining value:
attention = pn.attention
#to get value of attention_Other Variable attention, meditation, blinkStrength, will be added more soon.
-
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:
pn.set_attention_callback(callback_function1) pn.set_meditation_callback(callback_function2) pn.set_blinkStrength_callback(callback_function3)
You can add any number of callback functions to a variable..
Sample Program 1 (Access via callback)
from PyNeuro import PyNeuro
from time import sleep
pn = PyNeuro()
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
pn.set_attention_callback("attention", attention_callback)
pn.connect()
pn.start()
try:
while True:
sleep(0.2)
finally:
neuropy.close()
Sample Program 2 (Access via object)
from PyNeuro import PyNeuro
from time import sleep
pn = PyNeuro()
pn.start()
while True:
if pn.meditation > 70: # Access data through object
pn.close()
sleep(0.2)
