Overview

Neurosdk is a powerful tool for working with neuro-sensors BrainBit, BrainBitBlack, NeuroEEG-M, Callibri and Kolibri. All these devices work with BLE 4.0+ technology. SDK allows you to connect, read the parameters of devices, as well as receive signals of various types from the selected device.

Getting Started

Firstly, you need to install package.

ReactNative

Available for iOS and Android platforms

Installation

By npm:

$ npm install react-native-neurosdk2 --save

Mostly automatic installation:

$ react-native link react-native-neurosdk2

After installation

Because sdk uses the bluetooth api you need to set up the project.

For Android you need to request runtime permission:

async function requestPermissionAndroid() {
  try {
    let permissions: Array<Permission> = [];

    let androidApi31 = Platform.constants['Release'] >= 31;

    if (androidApi31) { // for android 12 (api 31+)
      permissions.push(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.BLUETOOTH_SCAN);
      permissions.push(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT);
    } else {
      permissions.push(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
      permissions.push(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
    }

    if (permissions.length == 0) { return; }

    const result = await PermissionsAndroid.requestMultiple(permissions);

    for (let i = 0; i < permissions.length; i++) {
      const perm = permissions[i];
      if (perm !== undefined && result[perm] != PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
        requestPermissionAndroid();
      }
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.warn(err);
  }
}

For iOS you need to add a key to Info.plist because it uses bluetooth too:

<key>NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<string>Explanation to using bluetooth</string>

Usage

SDK can be conditionally divided into two parts: device search (Scanner object) and the device itself (Sensor object).

The scanner allows you to find devices nearby, it is also responsible for the first creation of the device. When created, the device is automatically connected. In the future, the connection state can be controlled through the sensor object. Whatever type of device you work with, the use of the scanner will be the same.

The sensor allows you to monitor the status of the device, set parameters, receive a signal of various types.

It is recommended to work with both parts in a separate thread. During the connection, the SDK also reads the main characteristics of the device, which significantly increases the time of the connection method, which will cause the application to freeze.

If an error occurs while working with the library, you will receive an exception for any of the methods.

Scanner

The scanner works like this:

  1. Create scanner. When creating a scanner, you need to specify the type of device to search. It can be either one device or several.
import {Scanner} from 'react-native-neurosdk2'

...

var scanner = new Scanner()
await scanner.init([SensorFamily.LECallibri, 
                    SensorFamily.LEBrainBit, 
                    SensorFamily.LEBrainBit2, 
                    SensorFamily.LEBrainBitFlex, 
                    SensorFamily.LEBrainBitPro, 
                    SensorFamily.LEBrainBitBlack, 
                    SensorFamily.LEBrainBit2, 
                    SensorFamily.LENeuroEEG])
  1. During the search, you can get a list of found devices using a callback. To do this, you need to subscribe to receive the event, and unsubscribe after the search is completed:
scanner.AddSensorListChanged(sensors => {
	console.log(sensors)
});
...
scanner.RemoveSensorListChanged();
  1. Start search
scanner.start()
  1. Stop search
scanner.stop()
  1. Additionally, a list of found devices can be obtained using a separate method.
var sensors = await scanner.sensors()

SensorInfo contains information about device:

  • Name - the name of device
  • Address - MAC address of device (UUID for iOS/MacOS)
  • Serial number - device's serial number
  • Sensor family - type of device
  • Sensor model - numerical value of the device model
  • Pairing requared - whether the device needs to be paired or not
  • RSSI - current signal strength in dBm. The valid range is [-127, 126]
  1. After you finish working with the scanner, you need to clean up the resources used.
scanner.close();

When a found device is disconnected or loses signal, it will not immediately disappear in the scanner.

Sensor

Creating

You need to create a device using a scanner. All manipulations with the device will be performed without errors only if the device is connected.

import { CallibriSensor, BrainBitSensor, NeuroEEGSensor, Sensor  } from "react-native-neurosdk2";

// BrainBit
var sensor: BrainBitSensor = await scanner.createSensor(sensorInfo) as BrainBitSensor;

// BrainBit
var sensor: BrainBitBlackSensor = await scanner.createSensor(sensorInfo) as BrainBitBlackSensor;

// BrainBit 2/Flex/Pro
var sensor: BrainBit2Sensor = await scanner.createSensor(sensorInfo) as BrainBit2Sensor;

// Callibri
var sensor: CallibriSensor = await scanner.createSensor(deviceInfo) as CallibriSensor

// NeuroEEG
var sensor: NeuroEEGSensor = await scanner.createSensor(deviceInfo) as NeuroEEGSensor

For all types of devices, you can use the same methods to control the device's connection status, invoke commands, and check for functionality.

Manage connection state

Connection status can be obtained in two ways. The first one is using the sensor property State.

The second way is in real time using a callback:

sensor.AddConnectionChanged((state)=>{           
    console.log(SensorState[state])
})
...
sensor.RemoveConnectionChanged()

A connection can be in two states: connected (InRange) and disconnected (OutOfRange).

Important! The state change callback will not come after the device is created, only after disconnecting (device lost from the scope or using a method) and then connected. The device does not automatically reconnect.

You can connect and disconnect from device manually by methods Connect() and Disconnect(). To receive connection state in real time you need to subscribe to stateChanged event. Also you can get connection state by sensor's property.

await sensor.disconnect()
...
await sensor.connect()
Manage device parameters
Battery

Also, you can get power value from each device by sensor property BattPower or by callback in real time:

sensor.AddBatteryChanged((power)=>{
    console.log(power)
})
...
sensor.RemoveBatteryChanged()
Parameters

Each device has its own settings, and some of them can be configured as you need. Not all settings can be changed and not every device supports all settings.

First you need to find out what parameters the device supports and whether they can be changed:

console.log(sensor.getParameters().map(parameter => SensorParameter[parameter.Param] + ": " + SensorParamAccess[parameter.ParamAccess]))

// Output:
//
// ["Name: Read", 
// "FirmwareMode: Read", 
// "FirmwareVersion: Read", 
// "State: ReadNotify", ... ]

Info about parameter includes two fields:

  • the name of the parameter, represented by an enumeration
  • parameter availability for manipulation. Can be one of three values:
    • read - read-only
    • read and write - parameter can be changed
    • read and notify - parameter is updated over time

You can also check if the parameter is supported, for example Gain:

if(sensor.isSupportedParameter(SensorParameter.Gain)){
    ...
}
Parameter description
Name

Name of device. String value.

var name: string = sensor.getName()
...
sensor.setName('new_name') // <- this is throw an exeption, you cannot set device name
State

Information about the connection status of a device. Can take two values:

  • InRange - Device connected
  • OutOfRange - The device is turned off or out of range
var state: SensorState = sensor.getState()
Address

MAC-address of device. For iOS/MacOS represents by UUID. String value.

var address: string = sensor.getAddress()
Serial number

Serial number of device. String value.

For callibri device families, this field is empty in SensorInfo when searching, and you can get it immediately after connecting using this property.

var sn: string = sensor.getSerialNumber()
Channel count

Count of channels of device. Number value.

var chCount: number = sensor.getChannelsCount()()
Hardware filters

Only to Callibri MF sensor!

Device signal filter activity states. If the parameter is supported by the device, it becomes possible to set the desired filters to the device. The next filters are available:

  • HPFBwhLvl1CutoffFreq1Hz
  • HPFBwhLvl1CutoffFreq5Hz
  • BSFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq45_55Hz
  • BSFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq55_65Hz
  • HPFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq10Hz
  • LPFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq400Hz
  • FilterHPFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq80Hz
  • FilterUnknown

If sensor does not support filter in input list the method throw an exception

NOTE: Setting a hardware filter list that contains LPFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq400Hz will not occur in a callibri sensor at a frequency other than 1000Hz

var filters: Array<SensorFilter> = sensor.getHardwareFilters()
...
sensor.setHardwareFilters([SensorFilter.FilterBSFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq55_65Hz, SensorFilter.FilterHPFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq10Hz])

You can also check if the filter is supported, for example HPFBwhLvl1CutoffFreq1Hz:

if(sensor.isSupportedFilter(SensorFilter.FilterHPFBwhLvl1CutoffFreq1Hz)){
    ...
}

Or you can check all supported filters:

var filters: Array<SensorFilter> = sensor.getSupportedFilters();
Firmware mode

Information about the current mode of operation of the device firmware. It can be in two states:

  • ModeBootloader - the device is in bootloader mode
  • ModeApplication - normal operation
var mode: SensorFirmwareMode = sensor.getFirmwareMode()
...
// Setter supports only with Callibri MF
sensor.setFirmwareMode(SensorFirmwareMode.ModeApplication)
Sampling frequency

An property that is used to set or get the sample rate of a physiological signal. The higher the value, the more data flow from the device to the application, which means the higher the power consumption, but also the higher the range of measured frequencies. And there are also limitations on the physical communication channel (BLE) in terms of bandwidth.

Recommendations for choosing a value:

  • For EEG signals not less than 250 Hz;
  • For ECG signals 125 Hz;
  • For EMG not less than 1000 Hz. When working with several devices at the same time, it is not recommended to increase the frequency above 1000 Hz;
  • The breath channel has a fixed sampling rate of 20 Hertz. MEMS channels have a fixed sampling rate of 100 Hertz.

It is unchanged for BrainBit and BrainBitBlack and is 250 Hz. Can be changed for Signal Callibri/Kolibri and can take on the following values:

  • 125 Hz
  • 250 Hz
  • 500 Hz
  • 1000 Hz
  • 2000 Hz

Not available for Callibi EMS. Dont use for NeuroEEG-M device, you need to use a 'setAmplifierParam()' method for it. If you try to set an unsupported value to the device, an exception will be thrown.

var sf: SensorSamplingFrequency = sensor.getSamplingFrequency()
...
// Setter supports only with Callibri MF
sensor.setSamplingFrequency(SensorSamplingFrequency.FrequencyHz1000)
Gain

Gain of an ADC signal. The higher the gain of the input signal, the less noise in the signal, but also the lower the maximum amplitude of the input signal.

console.log(sensor.getFeatures().map(feature => SensorFeature[feature]))

// Output:
//
// ["Signal", "Resist"]

You can also check if the feature is supported, for example Signal:

if(sensor.isSupportedFeature(SensorFeature.Signal)){

}
Commands

The device can execute certain commands. The list of supported commands can be obtained as follows:

console.log(sensor.getCommands().map(command => SensorCommand[command]))

// Output:
//
// ["StartSignal", "StopSignal", ...]

And also check if the device can execute the desired command:

if(sensor.isSupportedCommand(SensorCommand.StartSignal)){
    ...
}

BrainBit, BrainBitBlack

The BrainBit and BrainBitBlack is a headband with 4 electrodes and 4 data channels - O1, O2, T3, T4. The device has a frequency of 250 Hz, which means that data on each of the channels will come at a frequency of 250 samples per second. The parameters of this device, such as gain, data offset and the other, cannot be changed, if you try to do this, an exception will appear.

sensor.setName("newname") // <- This throw an exeption!

You can distinguish BrainBit device from Flex by the firmware version number: if the SensorVersion.FwMajor is more than 100 - it's Flex, if it's less than BrainBit.

BrainBitBlack, unlike BrainBit, requires pairing with a PC/mobile device. So, before connecting to the BBB, you must put it into pairing mode. SDK starts the pairing process automatically.

Receiving signal

To receive signal data, you need to subscribe to the corresponding callback. The values will be received as a packet from four channels at once, which will avoid desynchronization between them. The values come in volts. In order for the device to start transmitting data, you need to start a signal using the execute command. This method is also recommended to be run in an separate thread.

sensor.AddSignalReceived((data)=>{
    console.log(data)
}); 
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartSignal)
...
sensor.RemoveSignalReceived();
sensor.ExecuteCommand(SensorCommand.StopSignal)

You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:

  • PackNum - number for each packet
  • Marker - marker of sample, if it was sent and this feature is supported by the device
  • O1 - value of O1 channel in V
  • O2 - value of O2 channel in V
  • T3 - value of T3 channel in V
  • T4 - value of T4 channel in V

NOTE: For BrainBit PackNum may be duplicated, although the data (O1-T4) are different. In this case we get 2 counts from BrainBit with the same packet number

Ping signal

Some devices support signal quality check functions using signal ping. You can send a specific value (marker) to the device and it will return that marker with the next signal data packet. Marker is small value one byte in size.

Available only to BrainBitBlack

sensor.pingNeuroSmart(5)
Recieving resistance

BrainBit and BrainBitBlack also allow you to get resistance values. With their help, you can determine the quality of the electrodes to the skin. Initial resistance values are infinity. The values change when the BB is on the head.

For BrainBit the upper limit of resistance is 2.5 ohms.

sensor.AddResistanceReceived((data)=>{
    console.log(data)
}); 
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartResist)
...
sensor.RemoveResistanceReceived();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopResist)

You get resistance values structure of samples for each channel:

  • O1 - value of O1 channel in Ohm
  • O2 - value of O2 channel in Ohm
  • T3 - value of T3 channel in Ohm
  • T4 - value of T4 channel in Ohm

Callibri MF, Kolibri MF

The Callibri family of devices has a wide range of built-in modules. For each of these modules, the SDK contains its own processing area. It is recommended before using any of the modules to check if the module is supported by the device using one of the methods isSupportedFeature, isSupportedCommand or isSupportedParameter

Receiving signal

To receive signal data, you need to subscribe to the corresponding callback. The values come in volts. In order for the device to start transmitting data, you need to start a signal using the execute command.

The sampling rate can be controlled using the SamplingFrequency property. For example, at a frequency of 1000 Hz, the device will send 1000 samples per second. Supports frequencies 125/250/500/1000/2000 Hz. You can also adjust the signal offset (DataOffset) and signal power (Gain).

sensor.AddSignalReceived((data)=>{
    console.log(data)
}); 
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartSignal)
...
sensor.RemoveSignalReceived();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopSignal)

You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:

  • PackNum - number for each packet
  • array of samples in V
Signal settings

By default, the Callibri/Kolibri gives a signal without filters. In order to receive a certain type of signal, for example, EEG or ECG, you need to configure the device in a certain way. For this there is a property SignalTypeCallibri. Preset signal types include:

  • EEG - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 3, ADCInputResistance
  • EMG - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 3, ADCInputResistance
  • ECG - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 3, ADCInputResistance
  • EDA (GSR) - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 8, ADCInputResistance, ExternalSwitchInput.MioElectrodes. By default the input to the terminals is set. If you want to change it to USB use the ExtSwInput property.

var signalType = sensor.getSignalType()
...
sensor.setSignalType(CallibriSignalType.ECG)
Receiving envelope

To get the values of the envelope, you need to subscribe to a specific event and start pickup. The channel must be configured in the same way as for a normal signal, and all parameters work the same way. Then the signal is filtered and decimated at 20 Hz.

sensor.AddEnvelopeDataChanged((data)=>{
    console.log(data)
}); 
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartEnvelope)
...
sensor.RemoveEnvelopeDataChanged();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopEnvelope)

You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:

  • PackNum - number for each packet

Callibri/Kolibri EMS

Callibri is a EMS if it supports the stimulation module:

var isStimulator = sensor.isSupportedFeature(SensorFeature.CurrentStimulator)
Stimulation

Before starting the session, you need to correctly configure the device, otherwise the current strength may be too strong or the duration of stimulation too long. The setting is done using the StimulatorParamCallibri property. You can set the following options:

  • Current - stimulus amplitude in mA. 1..100
  • PulseWidth - duration of the stimulating pulse by us. 20..460
  • Frequency - frequency of stimulation impulses by Hz. 1..200.
  • StimulusDuration - maximum stimulation time by ms. 0...65535. Zero is infinitely.

You can start and stop stimulation with the following commands:

sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartCurrentStimulation)
...
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopCurrentStimulation)

Stimulation does not stop after the StimulusDuration time has elapsed.

You can check the state of stimulation using the StimulatorMAState property. Contains two parameters:

  • StimulatorState - Stimulation mode state
  • MAState - Drive assistant mode state

Each of the parameters can be in 4 states:

  • StimStateNoParams - parameter not set
  • StimStateDisabled - mode disabled
  • StimStateEnabled - mode enabled
  • StimStateUnsupported - sensor unsupported
Motion assistant

The Callibri EMS, which contains the MEMS module, can act as a motion corrector. You can set the initial and final angle of the device and the limb on which the Callibri/Kolibri is installed, as well as a pause between stimulations and turn on the motion assistant. All the time while the device is tilted in the set range, stimulation will met. Stimulation will take place according to the settings of StimulatorParam.

The motion corrector works in the background. After turning on the motion assistant mode, it will work regardless of the connection to a mobile device/PC. You can turn on the motion corrector mode using a special command. When the device is rebooted, it is also reset.

Motion corrector parameters are a structure with fields:

  • GyroStart - Angle value in degrees at which the stimulation mode will start, if it is correctly configured.
  • GyroStop - Angle value in degrees above which the stimulation mode will stop, if it is correctly configured.
  • Limb - overlay location in stimulation mode, if supported.
  • MinPauseMs - Pause between starts of stimulation mode in milliseconds. Multiple of 10. This means that the device is using the (MinPauseMs / 10) value. Correct values: 10, 20, 30, 40 ...
sensor.setMotionAssistantParam({
    GyroStart: 45, 
    GyroStop:10, 
    Limb: CallibriMotionAssistantLimb.RightLeg, 
    MinPauseMs: 10
 })
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.EnableMotionAssistant)
...
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopCurrentStimulation)

  • Idle
  • Signal
  • Resist
  • SignalResist
  • Envelope

You can check amp. mode by two ways:

  1. by callback:
sensor.AddAmpModeChanged((ampMode)=>
  { 
    console.info("ampMode: " + ampMode) 
  });
  1. get value at any time:
var mode: SensorAmpMode = sensor.getAmpMode()

It is very important parameter for NeuroEEG-M device because you can set amplifier parameters only if device into PowerDown or Idle mode.

Amplifier parameters

You can configure each channel and whole device settings by setting amplifier parameters.

let maxChCount = NeuroEEGSensor.getMaxChCount();

let ampParam: NeuroEEGAmplifierParam = {
  ReferentResistMesureAllow: false,
  Frequency: SensorSamplingFrequency.FrequencyHz500,
  ReferentMode: EEGRefMode.A1A2,
  ChannelMode: Array(maxChCount).fill(EEGChannelMode.EEGChannelModeSignalResist),
  ChannelGain: Array(maxChCount).fill(SensorGain.Gain6)
};
sensor.setAmplifierParam(ampParam)

let result: NeuroEEGAmplifierParam = sensor.getAmplifierParam();

Channel modes:

  • SignalResist - device will be sent signal and resist values simultaneously
  • Signal - device will be sent only signal values, channel resistance will not be measured even if the resistance measurement mode is started in the device
  • Shorted - channel is shorted to ground, this mode can be used to analyze intrinsic noise of the device
  • Test - this channel will receive a test signal
  • Off - channel is disabled, no data from it

Referent modes:

  • A1A2 - both A1 and A2 references are available
  • HeadTop - only one reference is available, the resistance data is placed in field A1

ReferentResistMesureAllow - flag, allows resistance measurement by references (if true, the signal is not valid)

Receiving signal

To receive signal data, you need to subscribe to the corresponding callback. The values come in volts. In order for the device to start transmitting data, you need to start a signal using the execute command. This method is also recommended to be run in an separate thread.

The sampling rate can be controlled using the Frequency value of amplifier parameters. For example, at a frequency of 1000 Hz, the device will send about 1000 samples per second. Supports frequencies 250/500/1000 Hz. You can also adjust signal power (Gain) value for each channel.

sensor.AddSignalDataReceived((data)=>{
    console.log(data)
}); 
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartSignal)
...
sensor.RemoveSignalDataReceived();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopSignal)

You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:

  • PackNum - number for each packet
  • Marker - marker of sample
  • Samples - array of samples in V. Each sample number into array consistent with Num value of EEGChannelInfo from getSupportedChannels() method.

}); 
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartSignalAndResist)
...
sensor.RemoveSignalResistReceived();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopSignalAndResist)

BrainBit 2

The BrainBit2 class is designed to work with several device families: BrainBit 2, BrainBit Pro, BrainBit Flex, BrainBit Flex Pro. All devices have a sampling frequency of 250Hz. All devices can work in two modes - signal and resistance separately. These devices have different number of channels - BrainBit2, BrainBit Flex have 4 channels each and BrainBitPro, BrainBit FlexPro have 8 channels each. The main difference from BraibBit of the first version is that they do not support gain property, but have the ability to set gain for each channel separately using BrainBit2AmplifierParam structure.

Info about channels

The device can have 4 or 8 channels. To determine how many and which channels they are, you need to use the getSupportedChannels() method:

let channels: Array<EEGChannelInfo> = getSupportedChannels()

EEGChannelInfo contains some info:

  • Id - EEGChannelId type - physical location of the channel. Possible values:
  • Unknown
  • O1
  • P3
  • C3
  • F3
  • Fp1
  • T5
  • T3
  • F7
  • F8
  • T4
  • T6
  • Fp2
  • F4
  • C4
  • P4
  • O2
  • D1
  • D2
  • OZ
  • PZ
  • CZ
  • FZ
  • FpZ
  • D3

IIn most cases, you will receive the values O1, O2, T3, T4 or Unknown. Unknown means that the position of a specific electrode is free.

  • ChType - EEGChannelType type - type of channel, possible values A1, A2, Differential or Referent
  • Name - String type - channel name
  • Num - number type - channel number. By this number the channel will be located in the array of signal or resistance values

Also you can check only channels count without info:

let maxChCount: number = BrainBit2Sensor.getMaxChCount()

let chCount: number = sensor.getChannelsCount()
AmpMode

This device can show it's current amplifier mode. It can be in the following states:

  • Invalid
  • PowerDown
  • Idle
  • Signal
  • Resist
  • SignalResist
  • Envelope

You can check amp. mode by two ways:

  1. by callback:
sensor.AddAMPModeChanged((ampMode)=>
  { 
    console.info("ampMode: " + ampMode) 
  });
  1. get value at any time:
var mode: SensorAmpMode = sensor.getAmpMode()

It is very important parameter for BrainBit2 device because you can set amplifier parameters only if device into PowerDown or Idle mode.

Amplifier parameters

You can configure each channel and whole device settings by setting amplifier parameters.

let chCount = sensor.getChannelsCount();

let ampParam: BrainBit2AmplifierParam = {
  Current: GenCurrent.GenCurr6nA,
  ChSignalMode: Array(chCount).fill(BrainBit2ChannelMode.ChModeNormal),
  ChResistUse: Array(chCount).fill(true),
  ChGain: Array(chCount).fill(SensorGain.Gain6),
};
sensor.setAmplifierParam(ampParam)

Current - setting parameters of the probe current generator

  • GenCurr0nA
  • GenCurr6nA
  • GenCurr12nA
  • GenCurr18nA
  • GenCurr24nA
  • GenCurr6uA
  • GenCurr24uA
  • Unsupported

Signal modes:

  • Short - shorted input
  • Normal - bipolar input mode (used for EEG)

Gain - gain of an ADC signal for each channel.

If you do not want to set all parameters, but change only one, for example Gain, it is recommended to read the current parameters of the device and change the desired parameter:

let chCount = sensor.getChannelsCount();

var ampParamp = sensor.getAmplifierParam();
ampParam.ChGain = Array(chCount).fill(SensorGain.Gain3);
sensor.setAmplifierParam(ampParam);
Receiving signal

To receive signal data, you need to subscribe to the corresponding callback. The values come in volts. In order for the device to start transmitting data, you need to start a signal using the execute command. This method is also recommended to be run in an separate thread.

sensor.AddSignalReceived((data)=>{
    console.log(data)
}); 
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartSignal)
...
sensor.RemoveSignalReceived();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopSignal)

You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:

  • PackNum - number for each packet
  • Marker - marker of sample
  • Samples - array of samples in V. Each sample number into array consistent with Num value of EEGChannelInfo from getSupportedChannels() method.
Receiving resistance

BrainBit2 also allow you to get resistance values. With their help, you can determine the quality of the electrodes to the skin. Initial resistance values are infinity. The values change when the device is on the head.

sensor.AddResistanceReceived((data)=>{
    console.log(data)
}); 
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartResist)
...
sensor.RemoveResistanceReceived();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopResist)

You get resistance values structure of samples (ResistRefChannelsData) for each channel:

  • PackNum - number for each packet
  • Samples - array of values in Ohm. Each sample number into array consistent with Num value of EEGChannelInfo from getSupportedChannels() method.
  • Referents - array of values for referents channels. For BrainBit2 sensor is empty now.
