Free, open-source Android apps for recording and streaming biosignals with the Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) — no laptop required.
Free, open-source Android apps for recording and streaming biosignals with the Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) — no laptop required.
Three companion apps — use them together or individually.
LabRecorder for Android
Discovers all LSL streams on the local Wi-Fi network and records them directly on your Android phone or tablet into the standard XDF file format — synchronized, timestamped, and ready for MATLAB, Python, or EEGLAB.
Sensor Data streamer via LSL
Streams all built-in smartphone sensors — accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, light, proximity, step counter, and more — as LSL streams on the local network, ready to be recorded by RECORDA.
Visual Event Marker & Stimulus App
Presents visual stimuli and event markers during experiments and broadcasts them as LSL streams — so every stimulus is captured in your XDF recording with a precise timestamp.
A complete, self-contained data acquisition pipeline on a single phone, or across multiple devices on the same Wi-Fi network.
RECORDA
Records all streams → XDF
SENDA
Phone sensors as LSL
VIEWA
Event markers as LSL
All streams share a common LSL clock — synchronized timestamps, no post-hoc alignment needed.
XDF files can be opened with
pyxdf,
MNE-Python,
EEGLAB, or
Fieldtrip.
Up and running in minutes — no compilation required.
Enable Install from unknown sources in Android settings, then open the APK files. Android 8.0 (API 26) or higher required.
Put all devices on the same local Wi-Fi network. LSL uses multicast — it does not work across separate network segments.
Launch SENDA and/or your EEG device. Open RECORDA, tap Refresh, select your streams, and tap Start.
Please cite the relevant paper if you use these apps in your research.
