OpenViBE at ISNR conference

Long time I haven’t posted, sorry readers. I hope I can get more time for this blog. OpenViBE will be presented at the annual ISNR conference. ISNR (International Society for Neurofeedback & Research) is a non-profit member organization for health professionals, educators, researchers and students. They organize an annual conference on this topic where health […]

Why did I choose Lua

I’m asked this question very often as to know why I choose Lua as the first scripting language integrated in OpenViBE. Of course, the two most-wanted languages are Matlab for sig processing & Python for general purpose scripting, including sig processing actually… And I anticipate more and more requests for .NET which is pretty convenient […]

An interesting use of the Lua Stimulator

One amazing thing when developing a software is the creativity that comes from users, who find a way with existing tools to solve a problem that was not supposed to be solved with said tools. I remember discussing with Virtools staff several years ago on a Virtual Reality exhibition, the Virtools (now 3dvia) guy told […]

A look back at 0.10.0 release

Ok, it’s been more than a month now since OpenViBE 0.10.0 has been released (actually 0.10.1 if considering Windows precompiled build 😉 ) and I am somehow late for my look at the release… and ironically, this release contains long time requested features… A new BCI paradigm, welcome SSVEP And yes, this has probably been […]

Blind Source Separation for OpenViBE

Blind Source Separation <i>for</i> OpenViBE

Blind Source Separation or BSS is a very interesting field of signal processing. It consists in transforming a multidimensional signal to a space built of separated “sources”. Blind Source Separation is a generalization of Independent Component Analisys or ICA which supposes the sources are statistically independent. A nice illustration of this is the Cocktail Party […]

Interesting updates on Channel Selector & Reference Channel boxes

I committed a couple of interesting changes lately that will be released after I leave INRIA… (actually, they are already available in the SVN repository for those who care). It has been reported a number of times that the Channel Selector and the Reference Channel boxes were using 0-based indices. And this is damn like […]

I’ll be leaving INRIA mid-may

After more than one month of silence (actually, can we say a blog is silent ?), I feel like I have to post this important notice here… I’ve passed my last 5 years leading the developments of OpenViBE and it has been a really great experience. However, I recently decided to leave INRIA. This choice […]

Making customizable scenarios

Today, I want to blog about a new feature introduced in the 0.9.0 release : the ability to use configuration token in all the settings of a scenario. This post is kind of an update or enhancement of the Setting up an experiment environment one… In case you don’t remind this post, I suggest that […]

Back from India !

Back from India !

We are now back from India and the Techfest exhibition… I must say we had a great time there ! At least 1000 persons came on the booth for explanations and demos about BCI and there applications including helping disabled people and videogames. I have been really excited by the attention that visitors had to […]
