BrainAccess Cap

BrainAccess Major Hardware Upgrade

Greta Tikužytė Avatar

BrainAccess Extended+ Kit, a 32 channel/electrode EEG system, has been added to the existing BrainAccess Standard and BrainAccess Extended kits. The Extended+ Kit has the same form factor as the Extended Kit and electroencephalographs have compatible connectors. The Extended+ Kit was designed to cater the needs of researchers requiring full brain cortex coverage.

Headwear has also been upgraded for all the kits. The EEG cap is now easier to set up as it features location and channel labeling. The new cap material and chin strap improve both comfort and appearance. Snap connectors are now used for connecting and mounting the electrodes on the cap allowing for an easy electrode placement in different locations.

    From Literature to Live Data: LLMs as Full-Cycle Research Companions

    For decades, the challenge in neuroscience has not only been collecting brain data, it has been making sense of it. EEG signals are noisy, high-dimensional, and shaped by dozens of interacting variables. Interpreting them well has traditionally required years of specialist training. But a growing body of evidence suggests that large language models (LLMs) may…

    Can lying on a vibrating table listening to carefully crafted audio actually change your brain? A team of Portuguese engineers built a system to find out and the results are surprisingly measurable. Sound therapy is one of those ideas that sits awkwardly between ancient wisdom and modern science. Cultures across history have used chanting, singing…
