  This document describes a technical study of the electroencephalographic
(EEG) headset OpenBCI (New York, US). In comparison to research grade EEG, the
OpenBCI headset is affordable thus suitable for the general public use. In this
study we designed a daemon, that is, a background and continuous task
communicating with the headset, acquiring, filtering and analyzing the EEG
data. This study was promoted by the IHMTEK Company (Vienne, France) in 2016
within a thesis on the integration of EEG-based brain-computer interfaces in
virtual reality for the general public.
