createSession
This method is to open a session with an EMOTIV headset.
To open a session with a headset, the status of the headset must be "connected". If the status is "discovered", then you must call controlDevice to connect the headset. You cannot open a session with a headset connected by a USB cable. You can use queryHeadsets to check the status and connection type of the headset.
You can use updateSession to activate or close a session.
See Sessions for details.
Make sure the headset has the status "connected" before you call this method. Use queryHeadsets to check the status of the headset.
