Why wireless EEG matters?
Wireless operation eliminates the physical constraints of cables, improving user comfort and reducing motion artifacts caused by cable tension. It allows participants to move naturally during experiments — walking, interacting, or performing cognitive tasks — enabling more ecological and realistic recordings.
For researchers, wireless connectivity simplifies setup, enhances data collection flexibility, and makes EEG more portable, scalable, and adaptable to different use cases, from controlled laboratory studies to field research and wearable neurotechnology applications.
Long-Lasting Battery Life
Powerful batteries with fast micro-USB and USB-C charging for extended sessions.
BrainAccess systems are optimized for extended operation, ensuring reliable performance throughout long recording sessions or multi-phase experiments.
Battery life varies depending on the model. All devices ensure long-lasting recording sessions and charge in less than 5 hours.
Battery Duration
| Device | 250Hz | 500Hz | 1000Hz |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrainAccess HALO | 6.73 hours | 6.15 hours | 5.26 hours |
| BrainAccess MINI | 13.70 hours | 12.00 hours | n/a |
| BrainAccess MIDI | 12.91 hours | n/a | n/a |
| BrainAccess MAXI | 9.07 hours | n/a | n/a |
Note: Measured during continuous EEG streaming at the sampling frequencies available for each device.
Why does extended battery life matter in modern EEG?
Extended operating time is essential for EEG experiments requiring multiple trial repetitions, long monitoring sessions, or mobile data collection, where stable performance and user comfort are equally important. With BrainAccess devices, researchers can confidently record long sessions without worrying about mid-experiment interruptions or frequent recharging.
Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) integration
Synchronize EEG with other devices or sensors in real time using LSL.
The BrainAccess Board software automatically detects available LSL streams and allows users to select which ones to send, receive, or record.
Each device publishes its data as an LSL stream outlet, which can then be discovered and received by the BrainAccess Board or any compatible software as a stream inlet.
Compatible devices
Mulitple EEG systems
Eye Tracker devices
Physiological sensors (ECG, EOG, EMG)
Presentation software (i.e., Psychopy)
The Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) is an open-source middleware framework for real-time streaming, synchronization, and recording of time-series data developed by Christian Kothe and collaborators at the Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience (University of California).
LSL provides a unified interface for collecting data from different sensors and software across devices, by handling the complex parts of networking and ensuring all streams remain synchronized to within sub-millisecond accuracy.
Software Suite

Save files in multiple formats
Export data in FIF, SET, or CSV compatible with open-source EEG tools.
When you record EEG data with the BrainAccess Board or Mobile App, the signals and metadata are first saved in the native BrainAccess database format: .db .
From this native format, BrainAccess Board allows you to export recorded EEG data in several formats compatible with Python and MATLAB ecosystems.
Supported Formats
Python Ecosystem
The .fif format is specific to MNE-Python, a leading open-source toolkit for EEG and MEG in Python.
MATLAB ecosystem
The .set format is native to EEGLAB, but it is also directly supported by BrainStorm and FieldTrip, three pillars of the MATLAB-based ecosystem for EEG analysis.
Universal text format
Data can also be converted to .csv , a universal, human-readable format, ideal for quick inspection, visualization, or integration into custom analysis pipelines.
Whether you’re scripting in Python, R, or any other environment, CSV gives you complete flexibility, transparency, and integration with other data pipelines.
Hyperscanning Capabilities
Record and synchronize multiple users’ brain activity simultaneously.
Hyperscanning has become a powerful approach in cognitive and social neuroscience for exploring how brains interact in naturalistic settings. By observing neural activity across participants simultaneously, researchers can uncover patterns of inter-brain synchrony that are not visible when studying each person individually.
Applications
Joint attention and communication
Investigating how people align their attention during conversation or teamwork
Emotional and empathy research
Studying brain-to-brain coupling in emotional exchanges
Coordinated movement and performance
Synchronization during music playing, sports, or cooperative tasks
Learning and decision-making
Exploring neural dynamics in collaborative or competitive contexts
