| - The **ThinkGear Communications Driver (TGCD)** is a shared library of functions with an easy-to-use but well-documented API which facilitates connecting to headsets and parsing the data streams. By calling the TGCD functions in the TGCD, your application simply has to call one function to Connect(), and then repeatedly call functions to ReadPackets() and GetValue() to get data from any headset. The TGCD is available as a .dll for Windows and Windows Mobile systems, and a .bundle for Mac OSX systems, which can be called directly from C/C++ code. It includes Java (JNI) and C# wrappers to easily call the library functions from those languages. Lastly, there is a version of the TGCD for J2ME platforms. | - The **ThinkGear Communications Driver (TGCD)** is a shared library of functions with an easy-to-use but well-documented API which facilitates connecting to headsets and parsing the data streams.

| - The [[thinkgear_communications_protocol|ThinkGear Communication Protocol]] is a detailed low-level specifications of the NeuroSky headset's serial data stream. This protocol in conjunction with a Stream Parser Library facilitates the parsing and interpretation of the data stream (provided as ANSI C source code for easy portability). By following the specs and the Stream Parser Library, virtually any platform that can read the serial data, whether a scripting languages down to a microprocessors, can obtain brainwave data from NeuroSky's headsets. | - The [[thinkgear_communications_protocol|ThinkGear Communication Protocol]] is a detailed low-level specifications of the NeuroSky headset's serial data stream.
