The temptation to design headsets without ground-reference ear clips (electrodes) is pervasive. This is predominantly because ear clips remain vestiges of clinical EEG systems that have made their way into consumer BCI products. Clamped lightly onto a person’s earlobe, ear clips have proven one of the most trusted ways to obtain reliable grounding and referencing… Read More»

As we have seen, there is a multitude of possible BCI form factors—each with advantages, disadvantages, and purposes. In the consumer market, the most popular form factor is the headset. OEMs choose headsets more often over other form factors because they lend themselves to more interesting and aesthetic expressions better tied to a particular brand… Read More»

In our previous blog, we emphasized how BCI has been traditionally applied to control scenarios. We also pointed out that consumer BCI loses significant control granularity as a trade-off in order to meet consumer requirements for price, ease-of-use, aesthetic design and mobility. Its value proposition as a precise controller peripheral is weakened through this sacrifice… Read More»
