NIC (the Neuroelectrics Instrument Controller engine) is the software that controls both StarStim tCS stimulator and our Enobio 8 and 20 Channel EEG systems. NIC provides access to EEG data (raw, power spectra, filters, scalp maps) as well as configuration of stimulation sesssion parameters and rendering of associated Electric fields.

Neuroelectrics has recently released a new NIC software version, 1.2. See NIC's user manual in our Download Area.

Here are some useful resources you should also check: 

- | StarStim tCS EEG recording (Jove)

- | A short introduction to NIC v1.2

- | Stimulation configuration with NIC v1.2


The features in the NIC 1.2 release include:

StarStim:

Montage definition, independent control of currents at each electrode (tDCS, tACS, tRNS or linear combinations)
Save and load montage templates
Check impedances prior launch; Visualize currents and Voltages online; Online impedance check
Program sessions including PreEEG, Stimulation and PostEEG configuration for easy experimental setup
3D Electric Field (EF) simulations - Choose your tCS montage, visualize your 3D EFs instantly on the cortex or white matter surfaces

See also our video for stimulation configuration

Enobio and StarStim

EEG and accelerometry (3 axis) raw data
EEG filters (standard EEG bands or custom band)
PSD, Spectrograms
