BCI2000 Viewer displays brain signal data and state variables contained in BCI2000 data files.
Opening Files
To open a data file, drag-and-drop it into the program's main window. Alternatively, double-click a .dat file in Windows Explorer, and choose BCI2000 FileViewer when prompted for an application program to associate with the .dat extension.
Browsing
User interface elements for browsing are located below the signal display.
- |<< and >>| move to beginning/end of file;
- << and >> move forward/backward by entire pages (i.e., the amount of time displayed in the window);
- < and > move forward/backward by sample blocks;
- Zoom in and Zoom out enlarge/shrink the time axis;
- the position field displays the current position in hh:mm:ss format, followed by the total length of the file. Entering a value in seconds, or in hh:mm:ss format, will move the center of the display to the specified position.
Selecting States and Channels for Display
Once a file is opened in BCI2000 Viewer, the area to the right displays a list of state variables and brain signal channels contained in the data file. By default, all channels are selected display, and none of the states is. To display one or more state, mark the respective checkbox.
State names and values are displayed above the signal; whenever a state changes its value, a vertical line indicates the respective point in time, and the state's new value appears at the top end of that line.
Display Properties
Similar to the signal display in the operator module, display properties may be changed from a context menu that appears by right-clicking the signal display.
