== Overview ==

'''Lab Streaming Layer (LSL)''' is a software framework designed to synchronize time series data collected from multiple sources.

It enables precise time alignment between data streams produced by different software applications or instruments.

== Key Concepts ==

* '''Time series:''' A sequence of data points recorded over time.
* '''Stream:''' A continuous flow of data from a source (e.g., sensor, software).
* '''Time synchronization:''' Ensuring that multiple streams are aligned to a common time reference.
* '''LSL outlet:''' A source that publishes data to the network.
* '''LSL inlet:''' A receiver that subscribes to data from outlets.

== Main Uses ==

* Synchronize measurements from multiple instruments
* Align software-generated data streams with hardware signals
* Enable combined analysis of multi-modal data
* Facilitate reproducible experiments requiring precise timing

== Why It Matters ==

* Ensures accurate temporal alignment across devices
* Supports complex experiments involving multiple sensors or systems
* Reduces errors caused by timing inconsistencies
* Simplifies data collection and integration in research workflows

== When You Will Use It ==

* Recording data from multiple devices simultaneously
* Performing experiments that require precise timing
* Integrating new instruments into existing measurement setups
* Analyzing synchronized multi-source datasets

== Good Practices ==

* Test synchronization before critical experiments
* Document all connected devices and streams
* Use consistent naming for outlets and inlets
* Monitor stream performance during data acquisition
