BCI technology grounded in laboratory research

Some of the world’s leading universities have helped NeuroSky forge its role as the leader of mass-market BCI tools. Johns Hopkins, Duke, Washington, Wollongong, Hong Kong Polytechnic, Korea University, Coventry, Arizona State, UC San Diego, Serious Games Institute, and a growing number of others, are partnered with NeuroSky

Universities increase their institutional equity by applying NeuroSky Brain-Computer Interface technology to research.

For academics, institutional or corporate researchers, or students who want to conduct research involving the brain, NeuroSky will deepen BCI capabilities. For the first time, the cost and accessability of this BCI technology will enable broad, “hands-on” availability to faculty, researchers and students.

There are a number of ways ThinkGear can support and enhance research exploration in medical, education and safety:

Usability

ThinkGear technology uses a single dry (no gel) sensor that rests comfortably on the subject’s forehead and connects to a PC for data collection. Imagine collecting data from multiple subjects at once, in many different locations—without supervision. Variable headset sizing helps fit the subjects’ head size. 5-second calibration reduces downtime.

Portability & “Noise”

NeuroSky MindSets resemble a standard stereo headphone, are relatively compact and include a noise-canceling chip that enables use outside of a controlled lab environment. Subjects can record data in a variety of environments, using only a MindSet and a standard laptop or smartphone.

Cost Effective

The principle goal of developing our technology was to make a cost effective solution that expands the scope of people who can benefit from access to BCI. For experiments that only require a single EEG channel, research can be conducted on a larger scale at a much lower cost. Imagine collecting data from multiple subjects at once, in many different locations—possibly even without supervision. Furthermore, the quality of the data collected from ThinkGear enabled technology has been demonstrated to be comparable, or even better than more expensive EEG devices, with respect to amplification, filtering, and frequency responses.

The Future of Neuroscience

NeuroSky envisions a future limited only by the power of the human mind. Our technology is already being used for R&D in a number of the world’s most venerated intuitions and universities. Collaboration with our current academic partners is already proving that the integration of our Brain-Computer Interface technology can bring about monumental advancements in a broad number of scientific and industrial fields.
