CereLink - SDK for Real-Time Interfacing with Blackrock Data Acquisition Systems

CereLink - SDK for Real-Time Interfacing with Blackrock Data Acquisition Systems

The following GitHub repository link provides the necessary files and instructions for implementing the CereLink software development kit.
  1. c++ library (cbsdk): cross-platform library for two-way communication with hardware
  2. Python binding (Cerelink): Python binding for cbsdk to configure, pull data, and receive callbacks
  3. MATLAB/Octave binding (cbmex/cboct): MATLAB executable (mex) to configure and pull data using cbsdk
  4. C#/CLI binding
  5. File conversion utility (n2h5): Converts nsx and nev files to hdf5 format

Info
Disclaimer: CereLink is not Blackrock-supported. Blackrock may not be able to assist you directly to get your Python scripts to work properly. Therefore, this guide does not provide instruction for executing or troubleshooting CereLink during runtime.
