Current status

Jackson is in early alpha stage compare to planned features but is perferctly functionnal for recording and displaying headset captured datas. The live version Jackson LIVE aka "jLIVE" is a time line sequencer that is able to mindlaunch whatever you want through built in TCP interface, command line and applescript (OS X). Jackson and jLIVE can stream in OSC, TCP, UDP, DMX over USB, DMX over webserver and many more...

Current Soft effort is focused on implementing acquisition paradigms.

Availability : Jackson will be distributed as soon as all major bugs will be fixed. You may ask for a free current reliable alpha version, if your non commercial project need simple access to brainwaves (one full dataset - 8 waves - every seconds) and is able to process them through a built-in incoming tcp port or OSC commands. Note that we currently rely on third party buggy software to access the bluetooth serial port. License : Different version of Jackson will be distributed with different license aggreements.
