Lab Streaming Layer(LSL)

LSL with Mentalab HyperSync

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. By combining LSL with Mentalab HyperSync, users can acquire, visualize, and record data with sub-millisecond accuracy in just a few simple steps.

LSL features in Explore Desktop

With Explore Desktop users can:

• Push data to LSL
• Plot External markers(i.e. Psychopy, E-Prime) 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 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 the streams** with Lab Recorder
• Record all the Explore(Exg, Orientation and Marker) and External marker streams() as CSV*

* HyperSync-only feature

** Also possible without hypersync with lower time-accuracy
