China's first comprehensive open source software platform for brain-computer interface released from Tianjin University

CTOnews.com, Nov. 20, according to an article published by Professor Xu Minpeng of Tianjin University on the Wechat official account of "brain-computer Interface Community", MetaBCI, China's first comprehensive open source software platform for brain-computer interface, has been officially released.

According to reports, the brain-computer interface can realize the direct communication between the brain and external devices, and the software platform has a higher technical threshold for non-professionals and beginners, and MetaBCI is a unified software platform that meets the development of the whole chain of brain-computer interface. It has improved the various shortcomings of the currently disclosed brain-computer interface software toolkit.

CTOnews.com learned that MetaBCI is based on Python development, including Brainda, Brainstim and Brainflow, and that the code has been hosted in Github, accompanied by instructions for use, and technical support.

At present, brain-computer interface is one of the technologies that are about to land in the frontier field of science and technology. at present, some areas in China have begun to provide policy support for brain-computer interface research. Shanghai has issued the "Action Plan for Shanghai to build a Future Industrial Innovation Highland for the Development and growth of Future Industrial clusters", which points out that Accelerate breakthroughs in the fields of non-invasive brain-computer interface technology, brain-computer fusion technology, brain-like chip technology, brain computing neural model and so on.

The following is a demonstration of the functions of MetaBCI:
