EMOTIV Insight Introduction Video
New Sensor Technology
The EMOTIV Insight uses a proprietary polymer sensor that is safe to use and offers great electrical conductivity with the convenience of a dry sensor. A new kind of hydrophilic polymer biosensor system eliminates the need for extensive preparation and conductive materials like gels or saline solution, by absorbing moisture from the environment.
Revolutionary design meets groundbreaking technology
EMOTIV Insight is the only device in its category that offers 5 EEG sensors + 2 reference sensors. This high spatial resolution provides in-depth information on your brain activity. Leveraging years of science-backed research and experience to create the next generation Brainwear®, Insight features an elegant, lightweight and user-friendly design.

Spatial Resolution
Spatial resolution is essential to develop an in-depth picture of brain activity. To accurately map brain activity using EEG, it is crucial to measure signals from many different structures located across the brain’s surface, or cortex. The Emotiv Insight is a five sensor system designed to measure activity in all key functional areas of the cortex. Other mobile EEG systems detect activity in only the frontal and temporal cortices—regions that conduct only a small fraction of the total activity in the brain. As such, these devices provide an inaccurate view of the user’s state of mind, and have extremely limited potential for most applications.
Emotiv Insight is the only device on the market that covers all key regions of the cerebral cortex. The Emotiv Insight detects activity in the frontal cortex (executive functions), the parieto-temporal cortex (auditory, spatial/co-ordination), and the parietal-occipital cortex (visual). This coverage enables Insight to accurately detect emotional states, to model different types of mental activity, and to detect the indicators of memory processing. The Insight’s five sensors, paired with our robust and scientifically validated algorithms enable us to reconstruct a source model of all important brain regions and to see their interplay.
Key Advantages of the Emotiv Insight’s Scientific design:
- Robust brain-computer interface interactions, with multipe degrees of freedom for controls of physical and virtual objects
- Accurate detection of emotional and mental states such as relaxation, stress, focus, excitement and engagement
- Spatial resolution to build real-time models of brain activity
- Deeper insight into an individual’s specific brain activity patterns
