Supported Software
This list contains EEG analysis software that can import Mentalab Explore data.
In general, many EEG analysis pipelines use EDF file formats. To convert your Mentalab Explore data to EDF, please use the bin2edf command available in our open source API explorepy. If your device has internal memory, it will automatically save data to BIN. If you are using the Bluetooth feature of your Mentalab Explore device, be sure to record to BIN and not CSV on the connected device.
For more information on explorepy, please consult the explorepy documentation.

LabStreaming Layer integrations
LabStreaming Layer (LSL) can be used to collect time series in research experiments. It handles networking and time-synchronization, and can be used to collect and view data.
explorepy can push data directly to LSL, where it will be time-synced with other data streams. Once time-synced, data can be forwarded to different visualization and analysis platforms. For more, see the push2lsl function in explorepy, or, to use our Desktop application, refer to the Explore Desktop Guide.
