Compute real-time evoked responses using moving averages

This example demonstrates how to connect to an MNE Real-time server using the RtClient and use it together with RtEpochs to compute evoked responses using moving averages.

Note

The MNE Real-time server (mne_rt_server), which is part of mne-cpp, has to be running on the same computer.
