Functional Description
This output extension integrates the Blackrock CereStim 96 intracranial stimulator with BCI2000. This integration enables automated stimulation of up to 96 electrodes with 15 different stimulation waveforms.
Integration into BCI2000
Enable the extension in your CMake configuration, enable EXTENSIONS_CERESTIM=On in the Extensions folder of the CMake GUI and then generate the BCI2000 Visual Studio solution in CMake. Next, open the solution with Visual Studio and rebuild the BCI2000FrameworkAppModule, and then rebuild any user application module you want to use the extension with. Once the extension is built into the user application, you can enable it by appending --EnableCereStim=1 to the user application module start executable command in your batch file.
Parameters
The CereStim is configured in the "CereStim" tab. The configurable parameters are:
AppliedVoltage
The CereStim drives current, so the applied voltage fluctuates according to the impedance between the current source (electrode) and drain. This dropdown parameter sets the maximum applied voltage (there will be no notification that this maximum has been met).
