Bitbrain devices

In this page we describe the different signals recorded by the bitbrain devices and their characteristics.

Devices description

In this section you can look for the signal tables of the bitbrain devices.

All the devices have also SD Card recording available. The name of the signal is a unique identifier.

It is noticeable that the size (number of channels x number of samples) is fixed independently of the mode configured. Some modes can, if required, left some of the channels undefined.

Signal description

In this section the different signals are described in detail.

EEG signal

EEG signal is composed by different number of channels, depending on the EEG device connected. Each channel represent the measurement in milivolts of each sensor. The order of the channels depends also on the distribution of the sensors in the head.

Modes

The EEG signal has no special working modes. 0 for disabling and 1 for enabling the record of the signal.

IMU_B signal

IMU_B signal provides information from the internal magnetometer, accelerometer and gyroscope.

channel data units
1 Accelerometer X g (9.8 m·s-2)
2 Accelerometer Y g (9.8 m·s-2)
3 Acceleroemter Z g (9.8 m·s-2)
4 Gyroscope X deg·s-1
5 Gyroscope Y deg·s-1
6 Gyroscope Z deg·s-1
7 Magnetometer X μTeslas
8 Magnetometer Y μTeslas
9 Magnetometer Z μTeslas

Modes

The IMU signal has no special working modes. 0 for disabling and 1 for enabling the record of the signal.

Photodiode signal

Photodiode signal provides light intensity measurements.

Modes

The photodiode signal has no special working modes. 0 for disabling and 1 for enabling the record of the signal.

Digital input signal

Digital input signal provides a value 0 or 1 depending on the signal registered by the device. The number of channels corresponds to the number of bits available.

Modes

The digital input signal has no special working modes. 0 for disabling and 1 for enabling the record of the signal.

GSR signal

GSR (Galvanic Skin Response) signal registers the electric characteristics of the skin. The measurements obtained are in milivolts.

Modes

The GSR signal has no special working modes. 0 for disabling and 1 for enabling the record of the signal.

BVP signal

BVP (Blood Volume Pulse) signal registers the changes in the volume of blood traversing a specific area of the skin. The measurements are obtained in milivolts.

Modes

The BVP signal has no special working modes. 0 for disabling and 1 for enabling the record of the signal.

ACC signal

ACC (accelerometer) signal is composed by three channels (X, Y, Z), each one representing a different axis in the space. Each channel measures the acceleration in g (9.8 m/s^2) of the sensor in the specific axis.

Modes

The ACC signal has no special working modes. 0 for disabling and 1 for enabling the record of the signal.

ExG signal

ExG signals measure the voltage (in milivolts) at each sensor.

Modes

The ExG signal has no special working modes. 0 for disabling and 1 for enabling the record of the signal.

ExG signal

GEN signals are generic analog inputs measured in milivolts.

Modes

The GEN signal has no special working modes. 0 for disabling and 1 for enabling the record of the signal.

Digital output signal

Digital output signal provides a value 0 or 1 depending on the signal sent by the device.

Modes

The digital output signal has no special working modes. 0 for disabling and 1 for enabling the use of the signal.

COM signal

COM signal provides a 9 channel digital communication port. Diferent devices can be connected: GPS and IMU

Modes

The digital input signal has special working modes. 0 for disabling the signal. From 1 up to 8, let you connect, respectively, up to 8 external IMU devices. Mode 9 is reserved for communications with an external GPS device.
