The standard way to set up an Olimex EEG for sleep recording is to connect it to a laptop during sleep. This method is the most widely tested by the community, so if you're unsure where to start, it's the recommended option. However, bringing a laptop to bed each night may be inconvenient. In that case, it's also possible to use a Raspberry Pi<ref name="sleepi" /> or a PinePhone, though these setups require DIY work and are not covered in this guide. If you manage to get one of these alternative setups working, please consider joining the [https://discord.com/invite/2kzXcg7Juf Discord server] and sharing your configuration. Your contribution would be much appreciated. | |||

The software setup can be done on both Windows and Linux, and potentially on macOS (though this has not been tested). | |||
The first component you'll need is a program to record sleep sessions. The recommended options are OpenViBE<ref name="openvibe" /> or SleePi<ref name="sleepi" /> for Raspberry Pi. Once your recordings are complete and saved, you’ll need to load them into another program to mark the sleep stages. SleepEEGTools is the recommended choice for this task. | |||
Additionally, you can use DatPlot to view the raw EEG data, for example, to visualize REM movements or detect K-complexes. | |||
