I assume that you mainly want to do real-time classification/prediction, not real-time training, right? In this case you don't even need to have a dataset. PyMVPA's classifiers can eat plain NumPy arrays in predict(). So if you get your real-time data into such an array you are set. How your can do that obviously depends on where your data comes from -- if it is in some SQL thingie python-mysqldb might help -- but there are countless ways to achieve this. These guys http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-54620.html seem to use PyMVPA for real-time analysis with this machine: http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/ocz_peripherals/nia-neural_impulse_actuator http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=410684&postcount=14 HTH, Michael -- GPG key: 1024D/3144BE0F Michael Hanke http://mih.voxindeserto.de _______________________________________________ Pkg-ExpPsy-PyMVPA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-exppsy-pymvpa
