'''MatNIC''' (see our [http://www.neuroelectrics.com/products/software/matnic-remote-stimulation-client/ '''website'''] for more info on MatNIC) wraps all these commands and status code in a set of Matlab functions that allow remotely controlling NIC. The MatNIC zip file ([http://www.neuroelectrics.com/contact '''contact us'''] for more info) contains:
 
−
- The MatNIC Manual, an explanation on how to use the Matlab functions to remotely control NIC and
 
−
- RemoteStimulatioClient, a folder with all the Matlab functions for remotely controlling NIC, and an example on how to use them.

To run the example please make the following call:
 
−
>> ret = RemoteStimulationClient (templateName, '127.0.0.1', 1235)
 
−
where templaName is set with a name of an already defined stimulation template NIC, then the host where NIC is running (in the example above we use the localhost IP, so NIC is running in the same computer) and finally the port 1235 which is where the NIC server runs.

Controlling NIC with Matlab: the MatNIC toolkit

MatNIC Remote stimulation client is a Matlab toolkit for agile, programmatinc control of NE devices for advanced researchers. MatNIC functions give you full control of all Neuroelectrics devices. With MatNIC you can, for example, modify in real-time any stimulation parameter, or receive and process EEG data.

For more information, visit the Neuroeletrics website in order to see video tutorials. And if you are interested, please contact us for pricing and more information.

The MatNIC zip file contains the following:

  • MatNIC: Free MatNIC to control remotely the NIC software:
- The MatNIC user manual (an explanation on how to use the Matlab functions to remotely control NIC and examples)
- MatNIC, a folder with all the Matlab functions to remotely control NIC

  • MatNIC Closed-loop: Special MatNIC to perform online stimulation changes [NE006SW]:
- The MatNIC user manual (an explanation on how to use the Matlab functions to remotely control NIC and examples)
- MatNIC, a folder with all the Matlab functions to remotely control NIC and additional functions to perform online stimulation changes

With MatNIC you can command the following actions: 

/--------------------------------------------------\
| Action                       | Device            |
|--------------------------------------------------|
| Load Protocol                | Enobio & StarStim |
| Start recording EEG          | Enobio & StarStim |
| Stop recording EEG           | Enobio & StarStim |
| Start Stimulation protocol   | StarStim          |
| Pause Stimulation protocol   | Starstim          | 
| Abort Stimulation protocol   | StarStim          |
| Online tACS Frequency Change | StarStim          |
| Online tACS Amplitude change | StarStim          |
| Online tDCS Amplitude change | StarStim          |
| Online tRNS Amplitude change | StarStim          |
| Request status               | Enobio & StarStim |
\--------------------------------------------------/

The previous actions are examples of the toolkit but we provide more actions to control the device and the NIC software.

NIC responds to those commands with a set of status commands to indicate whether the commands are successfully processed, the stimulation is ready to be started and so on. The following table shows all the possible status value that NIC might send. 

/--------------------------------------------------------\
| Status                             | Device            |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
| Remote control allowed             | Enobio & StarStim |
| Remote control rejected            | Enobio & StarStim |
| Device is idle                     | Enobio & StarStim |
| EEG streaming is ON                | Enobio & StarStim |
| EEG streaming is OFF               | Enobio & StarStim | 
| Protocol not loaded                | StarStim          |
| Protocol loaded                    | StarStim          |
| Stimulation is ready to be started | StarStim          |
| Stimulation is ON                  | StarStim          |
| Stimulation is OFF                 | StarStim          |
