BCIwiki (bciwiki.com) — Neurotechnology, the company behind BrainAccess EEG systems, has announced the release of a MATLAB API that lets users connect to its EEG devices and acquire data directly from desktop MATLAB. According to BrainAccess, the API is a native toolbox that supports Bluetooth connection, configuring EEG channels and sample rate, starting and stopping streams, and pulling data into MATLAB arrays chunk by chunk or over a fixed duration.
Previously, working with BrainAccess hardware meant using Python, C, or relying on the LSL MATLAB toolbox. The new API aims to reduce the friction of switching environments, enabling data to flow directly into tools like Signal Processing Toolbox and EEGLAB, and supports session annotations and saving directly to .mat files. The toolbox installs as a single .mltbx package for desktop MATLAB (R2025b or newer), with setup steps and API reference available in the documentation.
