contents We present an open-source implementation of a closed-loop Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system based on electrocorticographic (ECoG) recordings. Our setup integrates FieldTrip for interfacing with a Micromed acquisition system and PsychoPy for implementing experiments. We open-source three custom Python libraries (psychopylib, pymarkerlib, and pyfieldtriplib) each covering different aspects of a closed-loop BCI interface: designing interactive experiments, sending event information, and real-time signal processing. Our modules facilitate the design and operation of a transparent BCI system, promoting customization and flexibility in BCI research, and lowering the barrier for researchers to translate advances in ECoG decoding into BCI applications.
