I’m working on a project with a neuroscience lab. I need to create a bidirectional virtual reality intracortical brain-computer interface with the Matlab or OpenVibe software. Is it better to do it with a TCP connection or with Unet? I do not know if with Unet it is possible to read the data sent by the external software. I managed a connection with TCP but I would like to know what is the best solution.

If you can get the Unet to work with it, and set the channel options you need, then you have a choice.
If you cannot, then you have 1 choice instead of 2.
I don’t really know how to answer the question beyond that. It seems like something you’d need to know about what you want (and/or what can even work).
Thank you for your reply.
In terms of data delivery performance, is Unet more perfomant than TCP? With TCP I can read OpenVibe data with a StreamReader. How to create a connection with Unet to a server and recover data?
I have no idea how to do it with the software/servers you mentioned, but I’m 99% sure that UNet is UDP.
UDP and TCP have differences. Unity (UNet) also has variants of UDP, such as: ordered, ordered reliable which mimic some of TCPs stuff.
This is part of the reason I said it’s hard to answer more.
Hope that helps, even a little bit.
Yes thanks !
I will try to test with Unet to compare and see if I can create a server / client link between OpenVibe and unity.
Cool, well good luck 
hi,
can you please tell me how to create connection from openvibe to unity using tcp/ip (i am processing data via matlab toolbox in openvibe).
