Groundbreaking research
Xi’an University successfully translated brainwaves into visible characters on a screen, turning thoughts into images. The 32-channel Emotiv Flex was used to accurately obtain brain data as a subject viewed combinations of 26 English letters and 10 numbers in 50 font variations.
Advancing Brain Care
Drexel University’s groundbreaking Brain Age system uses Emotiv Epoc X headsets to measure the electrical activity during a brain's resting state and compares it to statistical data among healthy adults. This suggests it may become practical to start screening individuals in early middle age or even earlier, rather than waiting until late middle age or older when symptoms become noticeable.
Eliminating Physical Barriers
The Imagination Centre, supported by the Glenrose Hospital Foundation, houses the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) program. This dedicated team consists of families, clinicians, engineers, researchers, and leaders in the pediatric and rehabilitation space.
This facility offers BCI therapy using Emotiv Epoc X EEG headsets for wheelchairs, video games, robots, remote-controlled cars, smart home tech, rolling balls, and a bubble maker. It's one of few North American locations providing this therapy, which is available to both children and adults with conditions like ALS.

Why Researchers Use LSL
with EmotivPRO
Lab Streaming Layer MATLAB Integration
For advanced analysis, many researchers use Lab Streaming Layer MATLAB workflows with EmotivPRO. This setup lets you capture, process, and visualize EEG data in real time, apply custom signal processing algorithms, and integrate outputs into behavioral or performance tasks. With MATLAB’s extensive toolbox support, you can run everything from ERP averaging to machine learning classification without interrupting your data stream.
LSL in Action
A cognitive workload study might use EmotivPRO to capture raw EEG while simultaneously streaming motion and stimulus event markers via LSL. The synchronized dataset can then be reviewed in EEG viewer software to verify signal quality, saved for later use in EEG review software, or piped directly into analysis scripts for on-the-fly results. This approach reduces post-processing delays and accelerates time-to-insight.
By integrating LSL, EmotivPRO isn’t just an EEG analysis software. It becomes a hub for high-precision, multi-modal neuroscience research.
