Two tech companies have come together to develop a new solution enabling simultaneous brain and physiological measurements to be taken outside of the lab setting.
The first-of-its-kind collaboration pairs X-trodes’ wearable sensing technology with EmotivPRO, EMOTIV’s EEG data platform for neuroscience research.
X-trodes’ sticker-based sensors are particularly beneficial for use cases where larger EEG devices are not ideal, such as sleep studies and kinesiology research.
EMOTIV customers are now able to use X-trodes‘ proprietary dry-printed electrodes to stream user-generated data through the EmotivPRO mobile app for processing and analysis on EMOTIV’s cloud-based platform.
Meanwhile, X-trodes users can contribute to and benefit from EMOTIV’s brain data repository – the largest, most diverse, and most secure in the world.
Tan Le, founder and CEO of EMOTIV, said:
“Our community will immediately benefit from the ability to study how the brain works in a range of new circumstances and environments.
“Adding new sensors to our platform that can accurately measure brain signals in natural settings creates exciting new opportunities for clinical research.
“The freedom to continuously measure and analyse real-world data without the limitations of the lab is a game-changer.”
X-trodes’ solution operates as a smart skin, comprising of dry-printed multi-electrode patches for EEG, EMG, and ECG signal measurement and an accompanying data acquisition unit (DAU).
The discreet electrode patches are straightforward to apply, conform to the skin without the need for gels or solutions, and can be comfortably worn for extended periods.
The solution is robust, flexible and completely wireless and can be used in any environment and while performing any physical activity.
Ziv Peremen, Ph.D., CEO of X-trodes, said:
“We are proud to partner with EMOTIV, which has led the revolution for making brain research accessible to everyone.
“Combining our wearable technology with EMOTIV’s expertise and market reach will facilitate the introduction of a truly user-friendly, end-to-end solution for brain and physiological signal measurement.”
