EmotivPRO is our advanced EEG recording software crafted for researchers, developers, and practitioners who prioritize precision, adaptability, and user-friendly design. It functions as a comprehensive, standalone EEG research platform or can be integrated with powerful external tools such as EEGLAB, MATLAB, and PsychoPy for tailored experiments, analysis, and visualization.

With EmotivPRO, you can record raw EEG, annotate it with event markers, and immediately review the data in our integrated EEG viewer software. You can also stream data to other platforms using the built-in Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) for real-time synchronization with stimulus presentation, behavioral tracking, and motion data. Whether you are running ERP studies, conducting neuromarketing experiments, or evaluating performance metrics, EmotivPRO provides a reliable foundation for scientific discovery.

Access Raw EEG Data Anywhere

Great research doesn’t always happen in a lab. Sometimes the most valuable insights emerge in real-world environments where subjects are in motion, interacting naturally with their surroundings. With EmotivPRO EEG recording software, you can capture EEG data without being tethered to a desk, wherever your study takes you.

 

PRO Desktop allows you to manage every stage of your workflow—from experiment design to detailed analysis—directly on your workstation. When mobility is essential, PRO Mobile and PRO Tablet make it easy to collect EEG data in the field without sacrificing accuracy.

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.

Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) Integration: Real-Time EEG Data Streaming

EmotivPRO offers built-in Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) support, making it easy to transmit synchronized EEG data and performance metrics to your preferred analysis environment. This open-source system standardizes the way experimental and physiological data streams are shared, allowing you to connect multiple devices and applications in real time — ideal for research setups that require seamless, time-aligned data acquisition.

 

With LSL, your raw EEG can be streamed directly to popular platforms like MATLAB, PsychoPy, and EEGLAB, or custom pipelines built for your unique research needs. Whether you’re working on a small-scale classroom project or a large multi-lab study, LSL ensures every millisecond of data is precisely recorded and aligned.

Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) for synchronizing multiple data streams

Why Researchers Use LSL with EmotivPRO

Multi-Device Synchronization

Combine EEG signals with eye tracking, motion capture, or biometric sensors for richer datasets.

Cross-Platform Flexibility

Compatible with both EEG software for PC and macOS, so you can work within your existing lab environment.

Standardized Protocols

Avoid time drift and data mismatches common in multi-device research.

Scalable Setups

Works just as well for single-subject pilot studies as for large-scale, multi-participant data collection.

Real-Time Feedback Loops

Stream data into adaptive experiments or training tasks for closed-loop applications.

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.

Why Top Researchers Choose EmotivPRO

EEG software for PC and MacOS

In neuroscience, psychology, and human-computer interaction, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. EmotivPRO was designed from the ground up to give researchers the control, flexibility, and accuracy they need—without the steep learning curve that often comes with advanced EEG tools.

Comprehensive EEG Data Acquisition

EmotivPRO captures high-resolution raw EEG, synchronized motion data, and precise event markers in a single, integrated platform. Whether you’re conducting ERP studies, cognitive workload assessments, or BCI experiments, EmotivPRO ensures that every millisecond of your EEG data is accurately recorded and ready for analysis.

Field-Ready Portability

Not all research happens in a lab. EmotivPRO’s mobile and tablet apps allow you to record EEG data in classrooms, clinics, sports fields, or remote locations. This opens the door to ecological validity—capturing brain activity in real-world contexts that traditional lab setups can’t replicate.

Flexible Analysis and Integration

With built-in visualization and annotation tools, EmotivPRO serves as both an EEG viewer and review environment. For deeper exploration, researchers can export to open-source EEG analysis software such as EEGLAB, or integrate seamlessly with MATLAB, PsychoPy, and other applications via Lab Streaming Layer (including full Lab Streaming Layer MATLAB support). This flexibility allows you to customize your workflow without sacrificing data quality.

Validated, Trusted, and Scalable

Built on over a decade of peer-reviewed validation, EmotivPRO delivers reproducible results across sessions and environments. Its licensing options make it just as viable for small student projects as for large-scale, multi-site industry research.

 

By combining accuracy, portability, and integration flexibility, EmotivPRO empowers researchers to push the boundaries of what’s possible in EEG research. From hypothesis to publication, it’s the tool that keeps pace with your curiosity.
 

Comprehensive Tools for Every Stage of EEG Research

When it comes to brain data collection and interpretation, researchers need tools that are both robust and flexible. EmotivPRO is designed from the ground up as a powerful EEG analysis software platform, giving you the ability to record, review, and interpret brain signals with precision. Whether you’re working on cognitive neuroscience, human-computer interaction, or applied psychology, our tools ensure you can move from raw signals to meaningful insights quickly.


For those just starting out, our EEG software free Lite version provides a gateway into professional-grade capabilities without upfront investment. This makes it easy for students, educators, and early-stage projects to explore EEG recording and analysis before committing to advanced features. With EEG software free trials and upgrade paths, your toolkit can grow alongside your research needs.


EmotivPRO also functions as a fully integrated EEG analyzer, giving you access to synchronized EEG, motion, and event marker data in one streamlined environment. Our intuitive dashboards and EEG viewer software allow you to visualize real-time brain activity, annotate events, and identify patterns as they happen. For post-collection work, our EEG review software supports detailed re-examination of datasets, enabling precise segmentation, filtering, and export for deeper statistical analysis.


In addition, the EEG viewer software within EmotivPRO offers customizable layouts for different experimental needs, making it easier to spot anomalies, validate recordings, and ensure your data meets publication standards. Whether you’re reviewing behavioral study sessions or analyzing ERP responses, our EEG review software ensures you have a clear, comprehensive view of your findings.


With EmotivPRO, you get more than just an EEG platform — you gain a research partner that scales from initial exploration with EEG software free to advanced, multi-participant projects that require the full power of professional EEG analysis tools.
