1. Quick Start

Go from zero to live EEG waveforms in under 5 minutes.

Before you start, choose your hardware path:

• Spike 1CH LH001 for the fastest focus / engagement demo
• Spike 8CH ADS1299 for fuller multichannel EEG setup

You'll Need

• Chrome or Edge on desktop (version 89+)
• Your EEG device connected via USB
• The app running on localhost:5173 (or any HTTPS origin)

Step 1: Confirm Hardware Parameters

Open the app. You land on the Setup page. The first card is Hardware Parameters.

1. Leave the defaults: Baud rate 921600, Sample rate 250 Hz
2. Click Confirm parameters
3. The badge turns green: Parameters locked

Step 2: Add a Site Binding

Scroll down to Acquisition site binding.

1. Choose a placement system (e.g. 10-20 International)
2. Click Add binding — each row is one channel
3. Type a site name (e.g. Fp1, Cz, O1)
4. Click Confirm binding

For 1CH, one confirmed binding is enough to run the core demo workflow. For 8CH, add and confirm a binding for every active channel.

Step 3: Open the Serial Port

1. Click Open wired connection
2. Select your EEG device from the browser dialog
3. Wait for the green Connected badge

Step 4: Start the Data Stream

1. Click Start collection
2. The header badge changes to STREAMING
3. Bottom bar shows SR 250, PKT counting

Step 5: Watch Your Brainwaves

Click the Live tab in the left sidebar.

You should see live waveforms, filtered waveforms, and after 2 seconds — the spectrum histogram and EI trend appear.
