Emotiv driver electrode localisation file?

Post by juxachim »

Regarding the emotiv driver, is there an electrode localisation file that can be found somewhere for the headset?

Hi,

It seems Emotiv uses the 10/20 system so it should be possible to create the correct file from the ones that come with openvibe in the share\electrode_sets directory ?

Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Dieter

Yes indeed, starting from the files shipped with OpenViBE, you should be able to get what you need.

By the way, even if Emotiv say they use 10/20 system and name their electrodes this way, one should consider that the electrode placement is really dependent on the shape of the user's head and can vary a lot from user to user. (e.g. if you plan to use it w/ topographies, just be aware that the displayed information is reaaaaaally approximated).

Hope this helps,
Yann
