NIC (the Neuroelectrics Instrument Controller engine) is the software that controls StarStim8/20/32 and Enobio 8/20/32 systems (the NECBOX is the little box hosting the amplifiers, electronics, battery and communications sub-systems). NIC provides access to EEG data (raw, power spectra, filters, scalp maps) as well as the configuration of stimulation session parameters and rendering of the associated electric fields.
Neuroelectrics has recently released a new NIC software version 2.0. See NIC's user manual in our website.
Here are some useful resources you should also check:
- | StarStim tCS EEG recording (Jove)
- | A short introduction to NIC v1.2
- | Stimulation configuration with NIC v1.2
A short introductin to NIC features in the NIC 1.2 release include:
