Getting Started

Embed brain data into your workplace, products or services using Cortex in four easy steps. Our licensing plans suit a wide variety of needs from providing access to our core data streams for brain-computer interface to high-resolution performance metrics for custom commercial applications.

Apply for the license that best suits your use case.

Once approved by EMOTIV, you will get access to our centralized installer EMOTIV Launcher in your Account.

Use The Force

Using an Emotiv Insight, a Sphero BB-8 Droid and IoT services on Bluemix, Joshua Carr demonstrates how you can use your mind to move BB-8 Droids.

Attention Powered Car

An Attention Powered Car was created to raise the issue of driver inattention and road safety. The car features an EPOC headset that connects brain activity to the car’s engine via customized software. When the driver’s level of attention drops, the car safely slows down, alerting the driver to their lapse in concentration.
