This extract is directly from Emotiv's Cortex API documentation mentioned before.

Prerequisites

Create an Emotiv ID

As with other EMOTIV services, you are required to have an Emotiv ID account. You can create an ID on www.emotiv.com.

Create a Cortex App

Create the application ID and generate the corresponding client ID and client secret for your application in order to grant access to Cortex API.

  1. Login to www.emotiv.com.
  2. Go to My Account Dashboard (https://www.emotiv.com/my-account/).
  3. Select Cortex Apps.
  4. Read the Developers EULA carefully and click Accept only if you agree to all the terms and conditions. You cannot develop an application that works with Cortex if you do not agree to all of the terms.
  5. Enter the name of your new application - an application ID will be generated automatically in the form of com.{your-username}.{application-name}. Note that the app ID string must contain only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), hyphens (-), and periods (.).
  6. Click Register Application. A client ID and a client secret will be presented to you. Copy them to somewhere safe immediately as the client secret will ONLY BE SHOWN ONCE ON THIS SCREEN FOR SECURITY. If you lost it, you will have to generate a new application ID later.
