Example connection with MaxMSP

Once you subscribe to the OSC module, the tab is enabled in BCI. The following example demonstrates a connection of EMOTIV BCI with MaxMSP, which is a visual programming language for music and multimedia.
  1. 1.
    Connect a simulated device or an OSC compatible EMOTIV Brainwear®
  2. 2.
    Choose a training profile to connect to the external device.
  3. 3.
    Select Sending mode: Unicast to Self
  4. 4.
    Set the IP: 127.0.0.1
  5. 5.
    Set the Port: 8000
  6. 6.
    Choose the Data stream you want to connect: Facial expressions, Mental Commands, or Performance Metrics
  7. 7.
    Click Start
  8. 8.
    Open Max MSP, go to File > Package Manager and install CNMAT Externals
  9. 9.
    Go to https://github.com/Emotiv/opensoundcontrol/tree/master and check the table with OSC Address Patterns
  10. 10.
    Create (replicate) the nodes below and change OSC-route according to whichever OSC Pattern you wish to address (in the example image, Facial expressions/Smile) - check table in the previous step for the addresses.
  11. 11.
    Open Processing and go to Sketch > Import Library… > Add Library , search and install oscP5
  12. 12.
    Open a new File.
  13. 13.
    Import oscP5 to the code and initialize an instance listening to port 12000. Example code (copy and paste in Processing):
    import oscP5.*; //OSC receive OscP5 oscP5; // This value is set by the OSC event handler float importedValue = 0; float radius; void setup() { size(1200,1000); // Initialize an instance listening to port 12000 oscP5 = new OscP5(this,8500); } void draw() { background (0); // Scale up imported value radius = importedValue * 1000; // Display circle at location vector stroke(255); strokeWeight(2); fill(255); ellipse(500,500, radius, radius); println(radius); } void oscEvent(OscMessage theOscMessage) { float value = theOscMessage.get(0).floatValue(); importedValue = value; }
14. Click the Play button and watch the graphics change according to Smile. importedValue is associated with the circle radius.
15. Open any example code in File > Examples.. 16. Associate importedValue with any float variable from any Library to play around. Be sure to:
  • Import oscP5;
import oscP5.*; //OSC receive OscP5 oscP5; // This value is set by the OSC event handler
  • Initialize importedValue (before void setup);
float importedValue = 0;
  • Initialize oscP5 (place it inside void setup);
// Initialize an instance listening to port 12000 oscP5 = new OscP5(this,8500);
  • Associate the event with the variable importedValue (place it after void draw);
void oscEvent(OscMessage theOscMessage) { float value = theOscMessage.get(0).floatValue(); importedValue = value; }
