Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are reaching the transition from science fiction, through scientific laboratories, to the status of useful appliances. Nevertheless, they still rely on a lot of complicated computations -- that is why they are termed brain-computer, rather than brain-machine, interfaces. A working BCI must provide real-time communications between several complicated software and hardware modules. Bci.fuw.edu.pl [1] hosts an open-source project aiming to:
* Create free, open-source software for brain-computer interfacing and neurofeedback, as a collection of modules/programs for specific tasks.
*Discuss and define relevant communication protocols between modules.
*Collect relevant information and experiences with hardware implementations. We aim to create a place for both professionals and amateurs, in all the disciplines connected with BCI to exchage their experience, and encourage the BCI research community to discussion.
One of the modules needed for EEG-based BCI, especially in the design stage, is the display and storage of the biomedical time series. As the display/annotation and offline analysis module we intend to use the outcome of another open project -- Svarog, which is a loose acronym for Signal Viewer, Analyzer and Recorder on GPL. This software [2], instead of providing input/output routines for specific file formats, separates the descriptions of specific formats to external descriptions in SignalML.
