Problem
Existing electroencephalography (EEG) systems often require conductive gels and extensive setup, making them less practical for continuous monitoring or integration into everyday consumer devices. This limits the ability to collect real-world brain activity data in ecological settings for applications like neurofeedback, BCI spellers, and integration with VR/AR environments.
Solution
Conscious Labs provides dry EEG headsets and biosensors designed for comfortable, wearable brain activity monitoring outside of clinical or laboratory environments. Their patented ThinkPulse™ active EEG sensing system uses solid polymer electrodes that eliminate the need for gels, offering quick and easy implementation. The headsets transmit raw EEG data wirelessly, enabling integration with various applications, including BCI spellers and audio neurofeedback. The company's technology facilitates EEG experimentation and research in health, BCI, and human factors, allowing for large-scale data acquisition in ecological settings.
Target Audience
The primary customers are research laboratories, public and health institutions, and teams interested in physiology and human factors who require EEG measurements in ecological environments.
