====== Muse Brain-Sensing Headband with the Processing Language ======

This page describes how to use Processing to access data generated by the Muse headband.

  - Download and install [[https://processing.org/download/|Processing 3]].
  - In Processing, go to ''Tools > Add Tool > Libraries''.  Search for and install both ''oscP5'' and ''ControlP5''.
  - Download the [[https://www.kasperkamperman.com/blog/processing-code/osc-datamonitor/|OSC Data Monitor]].  This website has useful videos and explanations about OSC and the monitor tool.
  - Unzip the downloaded archive and move the ''OSC_Data_Monitor'' folder from the ''Processing Source'' folder into your Processing sketchbook folder (typically, ''Documents/Processing'').
  - Back in Processing, open ''OSC_Data_Monitor/OSC_Data_Monitor''.  Press Play.
  - You might get a few errors, but watch for the GUI window to pop up.  Note the IP address given in the upper left corner, e.g., ''192.168.1.146''.
  - Turn on and wear your Muse headband.  
  - Launch the Muse Direct app (you'll need to be in either the free trial period or have paid for the subscription).
  - In the Muse Direct app, select and connect to your headband.  The graphs should pop up.
  - Go to the hamburger menu (in the upper left corner) and select "Streaming".
    - Change the OSC Prefix to something that starts with a "/", e.g., "/petronio".
    - Set the IP address to the IP address of your laptop you noted earlier.
    - Change the Port to 8000.
    - Click to Enable OSC Streaming.
  - Return to the OSC Data Monitor app in Processing.  You should see data streaming in.  You can use the filters to control what you see.
