EMOTIV Cortex API – Taking neurotechnology application development to a new level

What is the EMOTIV Cortex API?

The EMOTIV Cortex API is a powerful interface for connecting modern EEG devices from EMOTIV. It provides developers, researchers, and technology solutions with a comprehensive foundation for analyzing brain activity, detecting mental states, and implementing interactive applications. Cortex provides access to a wide range of data interfaces, including raw EEG data, facial expression recognition, mental control, motion analysis and more – in real time and across platforms. The Cortex API is based on JSON and WebSockets, making it easily accessible from a variety of programming languages and platforms. Please contact us if you have any further questions!

Whether in the field of research, education, virtual reality or user-defined control: the Cortex API provides central functions to realize the interaction between humans and machines based on neurophysiological signals. The API thus forms the technological basis for numerous innovative projects in the field of neurotechnology.

• Wide range of code examples: Getting started is easy with extensive documentation and a library of examples.

The following EMOTIV headsets can be used with the API:

Requirements for using the EMOTIV Cortex API:

• Creating an EmotivID
• As with other EMOTIV services, you will need an EmotivID account.

The following data can be obtained using the API with a valid EMOTIV license:

• Motion data
• Mental commands
• Facial expressions
• Performance metrics (low resolution, 0.1 Hz)
• Frequency bands
• Contact quality
• Battery level
• A paid subscription is required for data streams such as the following:
• EEG data
• Performance metrics (high resolution, 2 Hz)

A Developer API license is required to access the Raw EEG API and the High-Resolution Performance Metrics API. Please fill out the SDK application form and our customer support team will respond as soon as possible with assistance and licensing options.

If you have any questions about the license plans, please contact Mindtecstore customer support.
After placing your order, you will receive instructions on how to proceed.
