# OSC

Open Sound Control (OSC) is a universal communications protocol optimized for modern networking to enable connections between computers and other multimedia devices. EMOTIV’s BCI-OSC enables EMOTIV Brainwear® and Virtual Brainwear® to interface with a wider variety of OSC compatible hardware and software applications. OSC allows you to send mental commands, facial expressions, or performance metrics to an external, network-connected device.
