What is LSL?

About Lab Streaming Layer

• LSL is an open-source protocol designed to collect and integrate measurement time series data in research experiments
• LSL handles networking, time synchronization, real-time access, and optional centralized data collection and recording
• LSL is particularly useful for human psychological/physiological neuroimaging/psychophysiology applications involving diverse devices and signal sources

LSL Features

LSL Purpose and Features

• LSL simplifies data integration by providing a standardized API for various hardware devices (neural, physiological, behavioral) supported by the protocol
• LSL allows seamless communication between hardware devices and software applications
• LSL can synchronize multiple data and marker streams, regardless of data type and sampling rate

What data can be shared?

• The initial LSL License release only allows access to data in real-time from other devices—AcqKnowledge will not share data with 3^rd-party programs via LSL at this time. NDT is still the recommended way to access AcqKnowledge data in real-time
• More sharing functionality will be added to the LSL integration  in future releases
