Included with Emotiv Launcher
API and third-party integrations
Designed for Human-Centered Interaction
EmotivBCI turns human intent into usable control inputs you can deploy swiftly with confidence. Use trained mental commands on their own or combine them with facial expressions, performance metrics, and head movement. Optimized for stable recognition across repeated actions, our brain computer interface software uses advanced machine learning to control applications, trigger workflows, and power real-world interactions—from assistive technology to apps, games, music, art, and IoT systems.
Unlimited Profiles. Personalized Experiences.
Create and switch between multiple training profiles tailored to different tasks, contexts, or users, allowing teams to reuse setups, experiment safely, and deploy consistent interaction across applications. Designed for real-world use, this flexibility supports everything from accessibility and education to interactive apps and connected systems.
How Does BCI Work?
A brain computer interface (BCI) enables interaction with computers using brain activity rather than physical input. Traditionally, this has only been possible through surgical implants. EmotivBCI enables brain computer interaction using non-invasive EEG—so you can turn brain activity into usable digital input without implants or lab-bound equipment. This innovative software pairs with our wireless EEG headsets as part of our comprehensive brain interface platform and maps trained patterns to digital outputs. These outputs can be used to trigger actions, control applications, or influence interactive systems without physical input devices.
