**Creating a new virtual device**

Once logged in, click on Devices in EMOTIV App, then click on Add a Virtual Brainwear device —this will bring up a virtual device configuration dialogue.  To create a new virtual device, select the device you would like to emulate (e.g. MN8) and click on the Create Brainwear® button in the virtual device configuration dialogue. When created, your virtual device will appear in the Virtual Devices list under the Devices tab.
