Data Acquisition and Processing

Python

Install Dependencies

1. Anaconda - Follow instructions to install the latest version of anaconda distribution for your platform in the Anaconda docs

2. Virtual Environment - We recommend working within a virtual environment whenever working on this projects. This keeps the dependencies separate and organized. Instructions for setting up a virual environment for your platform can be found in the python docs

3. PIP Packages - Once your virtual environment is setup and running, install the required dependencies by running the following in the anaconda shell prompt:

conda install sys
conda install pylsl
conda install pywt
conda install pygame

Lab Streaming

---

OpenSignal

The Opensignal software comes bundled together with the bitalino device.

---

Run the Program

• First ensure that the bitalino device is paired via bluetooth to the target pc

• Open the open signal software and initialised the port the EMG sensor is connected

• Activate the LSL streaming channel and set to auto.

Once the streaming signal has been initialised

• From the base directory after creating the virtual environment.

• To run the program, kindly execute the following command in the anaconda prompt or gitlab terminal:

py game.py

The stop the program run Ctrl + c from your windows laptop or CMD + c on Mac.

Tasks completed in this code branch includes:

---

Data Acquisition Layer

The data acquisition stage was implimented using python.

---

LAB Streaming Layer

This LSL stage has been was implimented using python.

---

Data Cleaning Layer

This was done using wavelength transform.

---

Feedback layer Layer

This feedback from the user stage has been fully implemented.

---

PYGame Integration

The PYGame integratio was implimented using python threading.
