Neurosdk is a powerful tool for working with neuro-sensors BrainBit, BrainBitBlack, NeuroEEG-M, Callibri and Kolibri. All these devices work with BLE 4.0+ technology. SDK allows you to connect, read the parameters of devices, as well as receive signals of various types from the selected device.
Firstly, you need to install package.
Available for iOS and Android platforms
$ npm install react-native-neurosdk2 --save
$ react-native link react-native-neurosdk2
Because sdk uses the bluetooth api you need to set up the project.
For Android you need to request runtime permission:
async function requestPermissionAndroid() {
try {
let permissions: Array<Permission> = [];
let androidApi31 = Platform.constants['Release'] >= 31;
if (androidApi31) { // for android 12 (api 31+)
permissions.push(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.BLUETOOTH_SCAN);
permissions.push(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT);
} else {
permissions.push(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
permissions.push(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
}
if (permissions.length == 0) { return; }
const result = await PermissionsAndroid.requestMultiple(permissions);
for (let i = 0; i < permissions.length; i++) {
const perm = permissions[i];
if (perm !== undefined && result[perm] != PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
requestPermissionAndroid();
}
}
} catch (err) {
console.warn(err);
}
}
For iOS you need to add a key to Info.plist
because it uses bluetooth too:
<key>NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<string>Explanation to using bluetooth</string>
SDK can be conditionally divided into two parts: device search (Scanner object) and the device itself (Sensor object).
The scanner allows you to find devices nearby, it is also responsible for the first creation of the device. When created, the device is automatically connected. In the future, the connection state can be controlled through the sensor object. Whatever type of device you work with, the use of the scanner will be the same.
The sensor allows you to monitor the status of the device, set parameters, receive a signal of various types.
It is recommended to work with both parts in a separate thread. During the connection, the SDK also reads the main characteristics of the device, which significantly increases the time of the connection method, which will cause the application to freeze.
If an error occurs while working with the library, you will receive an exception for any of the methods.
Package contains tree main modules:
- Scanner - to search for devices
import { Scanner } from 'react-native-neurosdk2'
- Sensor - methods of interaction with the device
import { Sensor, BrainBitSensor, BrainBit2Sensor, BrainBitBlackSensor, CallibriSensor, NeuroEEGSensor } from 'react-native-neurosdk2'
- Types - implementation of all types of the library, you can either connect everything or only those necessary for a specific task

The scanner works like this:
- Create scanner. When creating a scanner, you need to specify the type of device to search. It can be either one device or several.
import {Scanner} from 'react-native-neurosdk2'
...
var scanner = new Scanner()
await scanner.init([SensorFamily.LECallibri,
SensorFamily.LEBrainBit,
SensorFamily.LEBrainBit2,
SensorFamily.LEBrainBitFlex,
SensorFamily.LEBrainBitPro,
SensorFamily.LEBrainBitBlack,
SensorFamily.LEBrainBit2,
SensorFamily.LENeuroEEG])
- During the search, you can get a list of found devices using a callback. To do this, you need to subscribe to receive the event, and unsubscribe after the search is completed:
scanner.AddSensorListChanged(sensors => {
console.log(sensors)
});
...
scanner.RemoveSensorListChanged();
- Start search
scanner.start()
- Stop search
scanner.stop()
- Additionally, a list of found devices can be obtained using a separate method.
var sensors = await scanner.sensors()
SensorInfo
contains information about device:
- Name - the name of device
- Address - MAC address of device (UUID for iOS/MacOS)
- Serial number - device's serial number
- Sensor family - type of device
- Sensor model - numerical value of the device model
- Pairing requared - whether the device needs to be paired or not
- RSSI - current signal strength in dBm. The valid range is [-127, 126]
- After you finish working with the scanner, you need to clean up the resources used.
scanner.close();
When a found device is disconnected or loses signal, it will not immediately disappear in the scanner.
You need to create a device using a scanner. All manipulations with the device will be performed without errors only if the device is connected.
import { CallibriSensor, BrainBitSensor, NeuroEEGSensor, Sensor } from "react-native-neurosdk2";
// BrainBit
var sensor: BrainBitSensor = await scanner.createSensor(sensorInfo) as BrainBitSensor;
// BrainBit
var sensor: BrainBitBlackSensor = await scanner.createSensor(sensorInfo) as BrainBitBlackSensor;
// BrainBit 2/Flex/Pro
var sensor: BrainBit2Sensor = await scanner.createSensor(sensorInfo) as BrainBit2Sensor;
// Callibri
var sensor: CallibriSensor = await scanner.createSensor(deviceInfo) as CallibriSensor
// NeuroEEG
var sensor: NeuroEEGSensor = await scanner.createSensor(deviceInfo) as NeuroEEGSensor
For all types of devices, you can use the same methods to control the device's connection status, invoke commands, and check for functionality.
Connection status can be obtained in two ways. The first one is using the sensor property State
.
The second way is in real time using a callback:
sensor.AddConnectionChanged((state)=>{
console.log(SensorState[state])
})
...
sensor.RemoveConnectionChanged()
A connection can be in two states: connected (InRange) and disconnected (OutOfRange).
Important! The state change callback will not come after the device is created, only after disconnecting (device lost from the scope or using a method) and then connected. The device does not automatically reconnect.
You can connect and disconnect from device manually by methods Connect()
and Disconnect()
. To receive connection state in real time you need to subscribe to stateChanged
event. Also you can get connection state by sensor's property.
await sensor.disconnect()
...
await sensor.connect()
Also, you can get power value from each device by sensor property BattPower
or by callback in real time:
sensor.AddBatteryChanged((power)=>{
console.log(power)
})
...
sensor.RemoveBatteryChanged()
Each device has its own settings, and some of them can be configured as you need. Not all settings can be changed and not every device supports all settings.
First you need to find out what parameters the device supports and whether they can be changed:
console.log(sensor.getParameters().map(parameter => SensorParameter[parameter.Param] + ": " + SensorParamAccess[parameter.ParamAccess]))
// Output:
//
// ["Name: Read",
// "FirmwareMode: Read",
// "FirmwareVersion: Read",
// "State: ReadNotify", ... ]
Info about parameter includes two fields:
- the name of the parameter, represented by an enumeration
- parameter availability for manipulation. Can be one of three values:
- read - read-only
- read and write - parameter can be changed
- read and notify - parameter is updated over time
You can also check if the parameter is supported, for example Gain
:
if(sensor.isSupportedParameter(SensorParameter.Gain)){
...
}
Name of device. String value.
var name: string = sensor.getName()
...
sensor.setName('new_name') // <- this is throw an exeption, you cannot set device name
Information about the connection status of a device. Can take two values:
- InRange - Device connected
- OutOfRange - The device is turned off or out of range
var state: SensorState = sensor.getState()
MAC-address of device. For iOS/MacOS represents by UUID. String value.
var address: string = sensor.getAddress()
Serial number of device. String value.
For callibri device families, this field is empty in SensorInfo
when searching, and you can get it immediately after connecting using this property.
var sn: string = sensor.getSerialNumber()
Count of channels of device. Number value.
var chCount: number = sensor.getChannelsCount()()
Only to Callibri MF sensor!

- BSFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq55_65Hz
- HPFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq10Hz
- LPFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq400Hz
- FilterHPFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq80Hz
- FilterUnknown
If sensor does not support filter in input list the method throw an exception
NOTE: Setting a hardware filter list that contains LPFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq400Hz will not occur in a callibri sensor at a frequency other than 1000Hz
var filters: Array<SensorFilter> = sensor.getHardwareFilters()
...
sensor.setHardwareFilters([SensorFilter.FilterBSFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq55_65Hz, SensorFilter.FilterHPFBwhLvl2CutoffFreq10Hz])
You can also check if the filter is supported, for example HPFBwhLvl1CutoffFreq1Hz
:
if(sensor.isSupportedFilter(SensorFilter.FilterHPFBwhLvl1CutoffFreq1Hz)){
...
}
Or you can check all supported filters:
var filters: Array<SensorFilter> = sensor.getSupportedFilters();
Information about the current mode of operation of the device firmware. It can be in two states:
- ModeBootloader - the device is in bootloader mode
- ModeApplication - normal operation
var mode: SensorFirmwareMode = sensor.getFirmwareMode()
...
// Setter supports only with Callibri MF
sensor.setFirmwareMode(SensorFirmwareMode.ModeApplication)
An property that is used to set or get the sample rate of a physiological signal. The higher the value, the more data flow from the device to the application, which means the higher the power consumption, but also the higher the range of measured frequencies. And there are also limitations on the physical communication channel (BLE) in terms of bandwidth.
Recommendations for choosing a value:
- For EEG signals not less than 250 Hz;
- For ECG signals 125 Hz;
- For EMG not less than 1000 Hz. When working with several devices at the same time, it is not recommended to increase the frequency above 1000 Hz;

console.log(sensor.getFeatures().map(feature => SensorFeature[feature]))
// Output:
//
// ["Signal", "Resist"]
You can also check if the feature is supported, for example Signal
:
if(sensor.isSupportedFeature(SensorFeature.Signal)){

The BrainBit and BrainBitBlack is a headband with 4 electrodes and 4 data channels - O1, O2, T3, T4. The device has a frequency of 250 Hz, which means that data on each of the channels will come at a frequency of 250 samples per second. The parameters of this device, such as gain, data offset and the other, cannot be changed, if you try to do this, an exception will appear.
sensor.setName("newname") // <- This throw an exeption!
You can distinguish BrainBit device from Flex by the firmware version number: if the
SensorVersion.FwMajor
is more than 100 - it's Flex, if it's less than BrainBit.
BrainBitBlack, unlike BrainBit, requires pairing with a PC/mobile device. So, before connecting to the BBB, you must put it into pairing mode. SDK starts the pairing process automatically.
To receive signal data, you need to subscribe to the corresponding callback. The values will be received as a packet from four channels at once, which will avoid desynchronization between them. The values come in volts. In order for the device to start transmitting data, you need to start a signal using the execute
command. This method is also recommended to be run in an separate thread.
sensor.AddSignalReceived((data)=>{
console.log(data)
});
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartSignal)
...
sensor.RemoveSignalReceived();
sensor.ExecuteCommand(SensorCommand.StopSignal)
You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:
- PackNum - number for each packet
- Marker - marker of sample, if it was sent and this feature is supported by the device
- O1 - value of O1 channel in V
- O2 - value of O2 channel in V
- T3 - value of T3 channel in V
- T4 - value of T4 channel in V
NOTE: For BrainBit PackNum may be duplicated, although the data (O1-T4) are different. In this case we get 2 counts from BrainBit with the same packet number
Some devices support signal quality check functions using signal ping. You can send a specific value (marker) to the device and it will return that marker with the next signal data packet. Marker is small value one byte in size.
Available only to BrainBitBlack
sensor.pingNeuroSmart(5)
BrainBit and BrainBitBlack also allow you to get resistance values. With their help, you can determine the quality of the electrodes to the skin. Initial resistance values are infinity. The values change when the BB is on the head.
For BrainBit the upper limit of resistance is 2.5 ohms.
sensor.AddResistanceReceived((data)=>{
console.log(data)
});
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartResist)
...
sensor.RemoveResistanceReceived();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopResist)
You get resistance values structure of samples for each channel:
- O1 - value of O1 channel in Ohm
- O2 - value of O2 channel in Ohm
- T3 - value of T3 channel in Ohm
- T4 - value of T4 channel in Ohm
The Callibri family of devices has a wide range of built-in modules. For each of these modules, the SDK contains its own processing area. It is recommended before using any of the modules to check if the module is supported by the device using one of the methods isSupportedFeature
, isSupportedCommand
or isSupportedParameter
To receive signal data, you need to subscribe to the corresponding callback. The values come in volts. In order for the device to start transmitting data, you need to start a signal using the execute
command.
The sampling rate can be controlled using the SamplingFrequency
property. For example, at a frequency of 1000 Hz, the device will send 1000 samples per second. Supports frequencies 125/250/500/1000/2000 Hz. You can also adjust the signal offset (DataOffset
) and signal power (Gain
).
sensor.AddSignalReceived((data)=>{
console.log(data)
});
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartSignal)
...
sensor.RemoveSignalReceived();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopSignal)
You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:
- PackNum - number for each packet
- array of samples in V
By default, the Callibri/Kolibri gives a signal without filters. In order to receive a certain type of signal, for example, EEG or ECG, you need to configure the device in a certain way. For this there is a property SignalTypeCallibri
. Preset signal types include:
- EEG - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 3, ADCInputResistance
- EMG - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 3, ADCInputResistance
- ECG - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 3, ADCInputResistance
- EDA (GSR) - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 8, ADCInputResistance, ExternalSwitchInput.MioElectrodes. By default the input to the terminals is set. If you want to change it to USB use the
ExtSwInput
property. - TenzoBreathing - parameters: Gain8, Offset = 8, ADCInputResistance, SensorExternalSwitchInput.ExtSwInUSB
- StrainGaugeBreathing - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 4, ADCInputResistance, ExternalSwitchInput.ExtSwInElectrodes
- ImpedanceBreathing - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 4, ADCInputResistance, ExternalSwitchInput.ExtSwInRespUSB
Hardware filters disabled by default for all signal types. You can enable filters by HardwareFilters
property, for example LP filter.
Important! When using an LP filter in the sensor, you will not see the constant component of the signal.
var signalType = sensor.getSignalType()
...
sensor.setSignalType(CallibriSignalType.ECG)
To get the values of the envelope, you need to subscribe to a specific event and start pickup. The channel must be configured in the same way as for a normal signal, and all parameters work the same way. Then the signal is filtered and decimated at 20 Hz.
sensor.AddEnvelopeDataChanged((data)=>{
console.log(data)
});
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartEnvelope)
...
sensor.RemoveEnvelopeDataChanged();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopEnvelope)
You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:
- PackNum - number for each packet
- sample in V
Allows you to determine the presence of electrical contact of the device electrodes with human skin. It can be in three states:
- Normal - The electrodes have normal skin contact. Low electrical resistance between electrodes. The expected state when working with physiological signals.
- Detached - High electrical resistance between electrodes. High probability of interference in the physiological signal.
- HighResistance - There is no electrical contact between the electrodes of the device.
To receive data, you need to subscribe to the corresponding callback and start signal pickup.
sensor.AddElectrodeStateChanged((data)=>{
console.log(data)
});
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartSignal)
...
sensor.RemoveElectrodeStateChanged();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopSignal)
You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:
- PackNum - number for each packet
- sample in V
The breathing microcircuit is optional on request. Its presence can be checked using the IsSupportedFeature
method. To receive data, you need to connect to the device, subscribe to the notification of data receipt and start picking up.
if(sensor.isSupportedFeature(SensorFeature.Respiration))
{
sensor.AddRespirationChanged((data)=>{
console.log(data)
});
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartRespiration)
...
sensor.RemoveRespirationChanged();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopRespiration)
}
You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:
- PackNum - number for each packet
- array of samples in V
The MEMS microcircuit is optional on request. Its presence can be checked using the IsSupportedFeature
method. This means that the device contains an accelerometer and a gyroscope. Contains information about the position of the device in space. Channel sampling frequency is 100 Hz.
MEMS data is a structure:
- PackNum - number for each packet
- Accelerometer - accelerometer data. Contains:
- X - Abscissa Acceleration
- Y - Y-axis acceleration
- Z - Acceleration along the applicate axis
- Gyroscope - gyroscope data
- X - The angle of inclination along the abscissa axis

Parameters for motion counter. You can configure it with the CallibriMotionCounterParam
property, in it:
- InsensThreshmG - Threshold of the algorithm's deadness in amplitude (in mg). The maximum value is 500mg. The minimum value is 0.
- InsensThreshSamp - Threshold of the algorithm's insensitivity in time (in samples with the MEMS sampling rate). The maximum value is 500 samples. The minimum value is 0.
You can find out the current number of movements using the MotionCounter
property. You can reset the counter with the ResetMotionCounter
command. No additional commands are needed to start the counter, it will be incremented all the time until the reset command is executed.
if(sensor.isSupportedParameter(SensorParameter.MotionCounter)
{
sensor.setMotionCounterParam({
InsenseThresholdMG: 250, InsenseThresholdSample:250
})
var motionCount = sensor.getMotionCounter()
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.ResetMotionCounter)
}
Callibri is a EMS if it supports the stimulation module:
var isStimulator = sensor.isSupportedFeature(SensorFeature.CurrentStimulator)
Before starting the session, you need to correctly configure the device, otherwise the current strength may be too strong or the duration of stimulation too long. The setting is done using the StimulatorParamCallibri
property. You can set the following options:
- Current - stimulus amplitude in mA. 1..100
- PulseWidth - duration of the stimulating pulse by us. 20..460
- Frequency - frequency of stimulation impulses by Hz. 1..200.
- StimulusDuration - maximum stimulation time by ms. 0...65535. Zero is infinitely.
You can start and stop stimulation with the following commands:
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartCurrentStimulation)
...
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopCurrentStimulation)
Stimulation does not stop after the
StimulusDuration
time has elapsed.
You can check the state of stimulation using the StimulatorMAState
property. Contains two parameters:
- StimulatorState - Stimulation mode state
- MAState - Drive assistant mode state
Each of the parameters can be in 4 states:
- StimStateNoParams - parameter not set
- StimStateDisabled - mode disabled
- StimStateEnabled - mode enabled
- StimStateUnsupported - sensor unsupported
The Callibri EMS, which contains the MEMS module, can act as a motion corrector. You can set the initial and final angle of the device and the limb on which the Callibri/Kolibri is installed, as well as a pause between stimulations and turn on the motion assistant. All the time while the device is tilted in the set range, stimulation will met. Stimulation will take place according to the settings of StimulatorParam
.
The motion corrector works in the background. After turning on the motion assistant mode, it will work regardless of the connection to a mobile device/PC. You can turn on the motion corrector mode using a special command. When the device is rebooted, it is also reset.
Motion corrector parameters are a structure with fields:
- GyroStart - Angle value in degrees at which the stimulation mode will start, if it is correctly configured.
- GyroStop - Angle value in degrees above which the stimulation mode will stop, if it is correctly configured.
- Limb - overlay location in stimulation mode, if supported.
- MinPauseMs - Pause between starts of stimulation mode in milliseconds. Multiple of 10. This means that the device is using the (MinPauseMs / 10) value. Correct values: 10, 20, 30, 40 ...
sensor.setMotionAssistantParam({
GyroStart: 45,
GyroStop:10,
Limb: CallibriMotionAssistantLimb.RightLeg,
MinPauseMs: 10
})
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.EnableMotionAssistant)
...
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopCurrentStimulation)

This device can show it's current amplifier mode. It can be in the following states:
- Invalid
- PowerDown
- Idle
- Signal
- Resist
- SignalResist
- Envelope
You can check amp. mode by two ways:
- by callback:
sensor.AddAmpModeChanged((ampMode)=>
{
console.info("ampMode: " + ampMode)
});
- get value at any time:
var mode: SensorAmpMode = sensor.getAmpMode()
It is very important parameter for NeuroEEG-M device because you can set amplifier parameters only if device into PowerDown
or Idle
mode.
You can configure each channel and whole device settings by setting amplifier parameters.
let maxChCount = NeuroEEGSensor.getMaxChCount();
let ampParam: NeuroEEGAmplifierParam = {
ReferentResistMesureAllow: false,
Frequency: SensorSamplingFrequency.FrequencyHz500,
ReferentMode: EEGRefMode.A1A2,
ChannelMode: Array(maxChCount).fill(EEGChannelMode.EEGChannelModeSignalResist),
ChannelGain: Array(maxChCount).fill(SensorGain.Gain6)
};
sensor.setAmplifierParam(ampParam)
let result: NeuroEEGAmplifierParam = sensor.getAmplifierParam();
Channel modes:
- SignalResist - device will be sent signal and resist values simultaneously
- Signal - device will be sent only signal values, channel resistance will not be measured even if the resistance measurement mode is started in the device
- Shorted - channel is shorted to ground, this mode can be used to analyze intrinsic noise of the device
- Test - this channel will receive a test signal
- Off - channel is disabled, no data from it
Referent modes:
- A1A2 - both A1 and A2 references are available
- HeadTop - only one reference is available, the resistance data is placed in field A1
ReferentResistMesureAllow - flag, allows resistance measurement by references (if true, the signal is not valid)
To receive signal data, you need to subscribe to the corresponding callback. The values come in volts. In order for the device to start transmitting data, you need to start a signal using the execute
command. This method is also recommended to be run in an separate thread.
The sampling rate can be controlled using the Frequency
value of amplifier parameters. For example, at a frequency of 1000 Hz, the device will send about 1000 samples per second. Supports frequencies 250/500/1000 Hz. You can also adjust signal power (Gain
) value for each channel.
sensor.AddSignalDataReceived((data)=>{
console.log(data)
});
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartSignal)
...
sensor.RemoveSignalDataReceived();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopSignal)
You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:
- PackNum - number for each packet
- Marker - marker of sample
- Samples - array of samples in V. Each sample number into array consistent with
Num
value ofEEGChannelInfo
fromgetSupportedChannels()
method.
NeuroEEG-M also allow you to get resistance values. With their help, you can determine the quality of the electrodes to the skin. Initial resistance values are infinity. The values change when the device is on the head.
sensor.AddResistDataReceived((data)=>{
console.log(data)
});
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartResist)
...
sensor.RemoveResistDataReceived();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopResist)
You get resistance values structure of samples for each channel:
- PackNum - number for each packet
- A1 - value of A1 channel in Ohm
- A2 - value of A2 channel in Ohm
- Bias - value of Bias channel in Ohm
- Values - array of values in Ohm. Each sample number into array consistent with
Num
value ofEEGChannelInfo
fromgetSupportedChannels()
method.
This device supports capturing signal and resistance at the same time.
NOTE: In this mode resistData may not arrive every update of the SignalResistReceived callback.
sensor.AddSignalResistReceived((signalData, resistData)=>{
});
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StartSignalAndResist)
...
sensor.RemoveSignalResistReceived();
sensor.execute(SensorCommand.StopSignalAndResist)
The BrainBit2 class is designed to work with several device families: BrainBit 2, BrainBit Pro, BrainBit Flex, BrainBit Flex Pro. All devices have a sampling frequency of 250Hz. All devices can work in two modes - signal and resistance separately. These devices have different number of channels - BrainBit2, BrainBit Flex have 4 channels each and BrainBitPro, BrainBit FlexPro have 8 channels each. The main difference from BraibBit of the first version is that they do not support gain property, but have the ability to set gain for each channel separately using BrainBit2AmplifierParam
structure.
The device can have 4 or 8 channels. To determine how many and which channels they are, you need to use the getSupportedChannels()
method:
let channels: Array<EEGChannelInfo> = getSupportedChannels()

Gain - gain of an ADC signal for each channel.
If you do not want to set all parameters, but change only one, for example Gain, it is recommended to read the current parameters of the device and change the desired parameter:
let chCount = sensor.getChannelsCount();
var ampParamp = sensor.getAmplifierParam();
ampParam.ChGain = Array(chCount).fill(SensorGain.Gain3);
sensor.setAmplifierParam(ampParam);
