Overview

The lab streaming layer was originally developed to facilitate human-subject experiments that involve multi-modal data acquisition, including both brain dynamics (primarily EEG), physiology (EOG, EMG, heart rate, respiration, skin conductance, etc.), as well as behavioral data (motion capture, eye tracking, touch interaction, facial expressions, etc.) and finally environmental and program state (for example, event markers).
