Training session
2009/01/15
A training session took place at INRIA, Rennes, France. The objective of this training session was to
present the software and its capabilities, as well as to provide hands-on training. In addition to an
overview of the main features of OpenViBE, the session included information targeted at developers. After core
OpenViBE concepts and the software architecture were presented, tutorials and exercises offered trainees the
opportunity to try their hand at modifying and/or extending the OpenViBE software (e.g. by writing new
acquisition drivers and new signal processing boxes).
15 people attended this training session.
You can download the slides and the exercises.
About OpenViBE
OpenViBE is a software platform dedicated to designing, testing and using brain-computer interfaces.
OpenViBE is a software for real-time neurosciences (that is, for real-time processing of brain signals).
It can be used to acquire, filter, process, classify and visualize brain signals in real time.
Applications
The main OpenViBE application fields are medical (assistance to disabled people, real-time biofeedback,
neurofeedback, real-time diagnosis), multimedia (virtual reality, video games), robotics and all other
application fields related to brain-computer interfaces and real-time neurosciences.
OpenViBE users can either be programmers or people not familiar with programming. This includes medical
doctors, video game developers, researchers in signal-processing or robotics, etc.
OpenViBE Characteristics
The graphical user interface of OpenViBE is simple to access and very easy to use for creating BCI
scenarios and saving them for later use. In the designer, the available functions are listed in the
right-hand window. The user simply drags and drops the selected functions in the left-hand window.
He can then connect boxes together to add processing steps to the scenario being created.
Lastly, the application is started by pressing the Play button to run the BCI.
OpenViBE is a library of functions written in C++ which can be integrated and applied quickly and
easily using modules. The platform's main advantages are modularity, portability, availability of
different tools for different types of user, including programmers and non-programmers, superior
code performance and compatibility with virtual reality technologies.
The software also offers many 2D and 3D visualization tools to represent brain activity in real time.
It is compatible with many EEG- and MEG-type machines because of its generic acquisition server.
OpenViBE offers many pre-configured scenarios for different applications including mental imagery,
neurofeedback, P300 signals, etc.
OpenViBE Status
OpenViBE is open source and available for free on the INRIA forge.
Don't hesitate to download OpenViBE and give it a try.
Key Features
OpenViBE enables to design, test and use Brain-Computer Interfaces.
OpenViBE is free and open source (under the terms of the LGPL-v2+).
The whole software is developed in C++. It consists of a set of software modules that can be integrated easily and efficiently to design
BCI applications such as for Virtual Reality (VR) interaction. Key features of the platform are:
- Modularity and reusability. Our platform is a set of software modules dedicated to the acquisition, pre-processing,
processing and visualization of cerebral data, as well as to the interaction with VR displays. OpenViBE is a general
purpose software, which implies users should be able to easily add new software modules in order to fit their particular needs. This is
ensured thanks to the concept of box algorithm, a "black box" in charge of a fraction of the whole processing pipeline, that
allows to develop reusable components, reduces development time and helps to quickly extend functionalities.
- Different user types. OpenViBE is designed for different types of users: VR developers, clinicians, BCI researchers,
etc. Their various needs are addressed and different tools are proposed for each of them, depending on their programming
skills and their knowledge in brain processes.
- Portability. The platform operates independently from the different software and hardware targets. It includes
an abstraction allowing to run with various acquisition machines, such as EEG or MEG. It can run on Windows and Linux and
also includes different data visualisation techniques. Also, it is based on free and portable softwares (e.g., GTK+, IT++,
GSL, VRPN, GCC).
- Connection with VR. Our software can be integrated with high-end VR applications. OpenViBE can serve as an
external peripheral to connect a BCI system to any kind of VR application. It also takes advantage of VR displays thanks
to a light abstraction of a scenegraph management library, allowing to visualize cerebral activity more efficiently or to
provide incentive training environments (e.g., for neurofeedback).
As compared to other BCI softwares, the OpenViBE platform stands out for its high modularity. It addresses the needs
of different types of users (programmers and non-programmers) and proposes a user-friendly graphical language which allows
non-programmers to design a BCI without writing a single line of code. Moreover, OpenViBE is portable, independent of
hardware or software targets, can run under Windows and Linux and is entirely based on free and open-source software.
Existing scenarios
You can use preconfigured scenarios and run already existing applications :
- 1-class BCI based on motor imagery
- 2-class BCI based on motor imagery
- Neurofeedback
- Real-time visualization of brain activity in 2D or 3D
- P300 speller
Detailed list of functionalities
OpenViBE includes the following functionalities (automatically extracted from the
frequently asked questions page) :
Supported acquisition devices
OpenViBE includes drivers for the following devices (automatically extracted from the

One post-doc position at INRIA
2010-01
Post-doctoral position on:
"The use of Brain-Computer Interfaces for 3D Interaction with Videogames and Virtual Environments"
2-year post-doctoral position is available at INRIA (National Institute of Research in Computer Science and Control), Rennes, France.
The project is in the area of virtual reality (VR) and Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). It concerns the use of BCI for the purpose of 3D interaction with virtual worlds and videogames. The postdoc is strongly related to OpenViBE software for BCI and VR (http://openvibe.inria.fr) and to OpenViBE2 research project, which targets "future BCI usages for videogames". The postdoctoral fellow will work within a research team devoted to BCI and VR and under the supervision of Dr. Anatole Lécuyer (http://www.irisa.fr/bunraku/anatole.lecuyer).
The post-doctoral stay is funded for 2 years. The post-doctoral program aims at designing and testing novel 3D interaction techniques with virtual worlds based on Brain-Computer Interfaces. Brain-computer Interfaces (BCI) enable a user to send commands to a computer using only variations of his brain activity. Traditionally, BCI aim at providing communication to those who have lost their voluntary muscle control. They can also be used for multimedia applications, such as for the purpose of interacting with videogames and 3D virtual worlds.
Main objective of the post-doctoral work is to investigate and design novel interaction techniques specifically adapted to the use of a brain-computer interfaces for 3D virtual environments. These BCI-based techniques are expected to improve 3D tasks such as navigation in the virtual world or selection and manipulation of virtual objects "by thought". A series of experiments with participants will be conducted to evaluate the various proposed techniques.
The candidate must have a PhD and an excellent background in either: virtual reality, 3D user interfaces, brain-computer interaction, human-computer interfaces, or other relevant topics.
Interested candidates should send CV, selected publications and names and addresses of three references to :

One PhD Thesis position at INRIA
2009-06 - CLOSED
One PhD Thesis on "3D interaction with video games based on Brain-Computer Interfaces"
(INRIA, Rennes, France)
Short Description:
The objective of this PhD Thesis is to study the use of Brain-Computer Interfaces to
interact with video games. Brain-Computer Interfaces (or BCI) correspond to the direct
use of brain signals to send "mental commands" to an automated system such as a robot,
a prosthesis, or a cursor on a computer screen. Cerebral activity is measured through
ElectroEncephaloGraphy (EEG), that is with electrodes located at the surface of the scalp
and recording electrical signals emitted by the brain.
This PhD Thesis is in the frame of a 3-year collaborative project called OpenViBE2
(2009-2012) involving 10 French partners (such as INRIA, INSERM, UBISOFT
and CEA) and focusing on the use of Brain-Computer Interfaces for video games. It is
also closely related to the development of the OpenViBE software (http://openvibe.inria.fr) -
a free and open-source software platform dedicated to designing, testing and using
brain-computer interfaces.
Brain-Computer Interfaces are no longer a dream today as several impressive prototypes
have been developed in recent years. However, few laboratories have studied the integration
of BCI with Virtual Reality technologies and with video games [Lécuyer et al., 2008]. In
this PhD Thesis, the aim will be to design, develop and test new methods to improve the
use of BCI to interact with virtual worlds. Novel interaction techniques will be proposed
that concern one or several classical tasks operated in virtual environments such as:
navigation in virtual world, selection and grasping of virtual objects, manipulation of
virtual objects, or application control (menus, buttons, etc) - all these elementary tasks
being achieved "by thought". Experimentations are planned to evaluate and validate the
developments and the approach using EEG acquisition machine.

What is a Brain Computer Interface ?
Brain-Computer Interaction (or BCI) corresponds to the direct use of brain signals to send "mental commands" to
an automated system such as a robot, a prosthesis, or a cursor on a computer screen. BCI is a rapidly growing area
of research and several impressive prototypes are already available. Indeed, severely disabled people are
enabled to control the motion of their wheelchair or to communicate with their relatives using adapted mental "spellers"!
Applications
Typical BCI applications belong the the following fields : medical (assistance to disabled people, real-time biofeedback,
real-time diagnosis), multimedia (virtual reality, video games), robotics (control of robots, prosthesis, etc), domotics
or home automation, etc.

Want to Contribute ?
There are several ways you can contribute to the platform.
If you plan to contribute, please contact us early on, so that we can first discuss the most appropriate way
to do it and how your contribution fits in our development roadmap. This way, the community will probably benefit more from your work.
Testing the software
You can help us testing the software and provide us with your own report. We would be interested in the following :
- Testing OpenViBE on new architectures
- Testing OpenViBE on new operating systems
- Testing new functionalities
Reporting bugs
We would like to stress the importance of filling a bug report if unfortunately, you do find a bug.
In any case, be aware that you can also notify us that everything works just fine and suits your needs :)
Developing additional features and correcting bugs
You can share pieces of code that you think may be of interest for the community. There are several topics you can contribute on :
- Creating new boxes for signal processing
- Creating new boxes for data classification
- Creating new boxes for data visualisation
- Creating new boxes for file reading and writing
- Creating new ready-to-use scenarios
- Creating new acquisition driver(s) for your device(s)
- Write more documentation and tutorials
- Package the software for your architecture (for example RPMs or DEBs on Linux distributions)
There are three levels this can be done :
- Every user can have read-only access to the forge. Such users may develop custom functionalities locally and submit a patch to the
mailing lists or to the
forum to be included in the repository. For
Windows users having TortoiseSVN, just right click on the root folder, choose "create a patch..." and send us the file. For
Linux users, such a patch can be created by using the following command in the root folder :
svn diff > patch.txt
- In case you submit several working patches and enhancements, you will be proposed to have restricted write access to the forge. People working in
this configuration can work in their own branches and commit their changes directly to the forge. It is up to core developers to decide whether
or not a branch is ready for integration to the trunk version.
- The last level is for core developers. They have full access to the forge. This means they can modify any file, including those in the trunk (current unstable version of the software) and tags.
Building installers and precompiled packages
As you probably noticed in the download section, several installers and precompiled packages are
missing. If you have the knowledge to build such packages, feel free to contact us.
