Performance Metrics

Accelerate Your Human Behavior Research with EMOTIV’s Revolutionary Performance Metrics.

Brain insights decoded

EMOTIV’s Performance Metrics offer direct insights into the human brain without the need for decoding. Please note that some of these metrics are specific to certain headsets or software.

Interest

measures attraction or aversion to stimuli.

Excitement

measures the intensity of reactions to stimuli or environments.

Stress

measures emotional tension experienced when completing a task.

Engagement

measures immersion in an activity.

Relaxation

Pioneering Performance Metrics

For over a decade, EMOTIV Performance Metrics have been perfected using proprietary machine-learning algorithms, advanced AI, and the world's largest anonymous EEG data set. They have been scientifically validated time and again as we continue to develop and refine real-time brain-state identification.

Measure cognition in real-time

Avoid confirmation bias. Our performance metrics provide robust objective insights in brain responses in real time. These insights are helping businesses make informed strategic decisions, improve product development and marketing, and provide unique customer experiences. Meanwhile, individuals use our performance metrics to track mental performance and stressors to improve cognitive health over time.

Building EMOTIV's Performance Metrics

Designed by EMOTIV's in-house team of neuroscientists and psychologists, EMOTIV's Performance Metrics are built with data collected using establish neuroscience paradigms that elicit a desired cognitive state, such as attention. Our team has collected hundreds of EEG data sets from participants in controlled neuroscience experiments using EMOTIV’s EPOC, Insight, and MN8 headsets. We use these data sets to train machine learning algorithms, translating complex EEG patterns into easy-to-understand measures of cognitive states.

Perfecting EMOTIV's Performance Metrics

We all experience emotions differently. When we report those emotions, we do so on different scales in response to our life experiences. So, to improve the accuracy of our performance metrics, we collect EEG data from different participants in a variety of scenarios that elicit similar emotions.

Who's using EMOTIV's Performance Metrics?

EMOTIV’s Performance Metrics are providing researchers in various fields with objective data that’s helping them understand human behavior in the real world. Our Performance Metrics are also empowering individuals to understand their brains, helping to optimize their day and improve mental well-being.
