Lab Streaming Layer(LSL)
Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) is a protocol for the unified collection and synchronization of time-series data from multiple sensors and applications in real time. It provides precise timestamping and seamless network-based sharing of physiological, behavioral, and experimental data.
LSL with Mentalab HyperSync
By combining LSL with Mentalab Hypersync, users can acquire, visualize, and record data with sub-millisecond accuracy in just a few simple steps. Follow the instructions delivered to you with your Hypersync system or contact us for more information at: contact@mentalab.com
LSL features in Explore Desktop
With Explore Desktop users can:
- Push data to LSL
- Plot External markers (e.g., from stimulus presentation software) in real-time in Desktop ExG, Orientation or Bandpower plot
- Record all the Explore (ExG, Orientation and Marker) and external marker streams as CSV*
- LSL visualizer to visualize all LSL streams*
LSL integration with third-party softwares
To integrate with third-party stimulation & analysis software (e.g., E-Prime, NeuroPype) and third-party hardware streams, users can push all the data to LSL and do one of the following:
- Record all data and marker streams** with Lab Recorder
- Record all the Explore (Exg, Orientation and Marker) and External marker streams as CSV within Explore Desktop.*
* HyperSync-only feature
** Also possible without hypersync with lower time-accuracy
