Introducing the Neurable EEG Headset – Everyday Neurotechnology

Discover Neurable, the everyday EEG headset now integrated with iMotions. With dry sensors, real-time brain data, and focus metrics validated across users, it delivers 20-channel research-grade quality, perfect for attention testing, neuromarketing, and UX research in real-world environments. Science meets wearability right here.

The Democratization of Behavioral Research Tools Continues

In recent years, hardware traditionally reserved for behavioral science labs has become increasingly accessible, enabling researchers across disciplines to integrate biometric data into their work without incurring prohibitive expenditures. 

Eye tracking glasses, GSR, EMG, and other wearable devices are now widely available, in many cases as over-the-counter solutions. This democratization of research tools has transformed the field, but one modality seems to remain stubbornly out of reach for many researchers, namely EEG. 

Regardless of the veracity of the claim, EEG has long been considered the most complex and expense-heavy technology in the behavioral scientist’s toolkit, EEG systems have therefore been largely confined to specialized labs. Until now that is.

Neurable: EEG for the Real World

The Neurable EEG headset, now available through iMotions, represents a major step in bringing research-grade EEG into real-world contexts. Designed to shift EEG from the lab into everyday life, Neurable addresses many of the longstanding challenges that have limited the broader use of EEG-based brain-computer interfaces. 

Headphones Neurable Model

The maybe most unique feature of the Neurable headset is that the sensors are integrated into a pair of high-quality, over-ear headphones, which makes the system essentially invisible to an external observer (aside from the headphones of course) and far more natural for participants to wear over longer periods. Neurable also replaces traditional gel-based electrodes with dry, fabric-based sensors that significantly reduce setup time while greatly enhancing user comfort

Comparable to 20-Channel Research-Grade EEG Setups

Despite its minimalistic and wearable design, the Neurable system delivers EEG signal quality comparable to that of a traditional 20-channel research-grade EEG headset. This makes it not only a convenient alternative but a scientifically robust one, suitable for demanding behavioral studies.

Behind the scenes, Neurable transmits neural data wirelessly with millisecond-level precision, enabling real-time processing and analysis. Advanced machine learning algorithms extract neural features from temporal-lobe EEG activity and accurately estimate cognitive states such as attentional focus. 

This estimation is not only delivered in real time but is also validated across users, experimental contexts, and over time, ensuring both reliability and scientific rigor. With its Enten platform, Neurable offers a robust solution that is ready for deployment in a wide range of behavioral research scenarios.

Designed for Realistic Testing Environments

When integrated with the iMotions platform, Neurable opens up new possibilities for commercial and academic researchers alike. It is particularly well-suited for studies that require minimal participant movement and a naturalistic user experience. That makes it ideal for attentional evaluations during content exposure such as marketing communications, video stimuli, virtual meetings, or e-learning modules. 

For researchers seeking to measure neural engagement in real-world scenarios without the barriers typically associated with EEG hardware, Neurable provides a powerful, scalable alternative.

Closing the Gap Between the Lab and the World

In short, Neurable bridges the gap between high-quality EEG data and real-world applicability. Now, with iMotions offering native integration, behavioral researchers can add a reliable layer of neural insight to multimodal studies that also incorporate eye tracking, facial expression analysis, GSR, and more. 

This marks a shift in how easily EEG can be used, unlocking new potential for understanding human attention, cognition, and emotion in a wide range of research settings.
