Demo 1 The Lab Streaming Layer

This document provides an introduction and overview of the Lab Streaming Layer (LSL), which is an open-source library and protocol for exchanging time series data between programs and computers. It summarizes the core components of LSL, including its application programming interfaces for C/C++, Python, MATLAB, and Java, as well as its cross-platform library. It also lists some of the supported hardware for data acquisition, including EEG systems, eye trackers, motion capture devices, and multimedia devices. Finally, it provides illustrations of how data can be provided to and received from LSL in real-time experimental setups and recordings.
