We offer research licensing and collaboration opportunities to support ethical, evidence-based studies in applied neurophysiology. Academic and clinical researchers can access our validated brain markers and specialized toolkits.
This available research tool is used by researchers to evaluate sustained attention (CEI – cognitive effort index) and alertness (TensI – tension index for stress and discomfort). The indices are reported in real-time or could be analyzed offline. The current headset employed by most researchers is the single channel easy to use BrainLink lite, but other headsets are also used. The tool also provides quantitative summary of the indices.
For further information please see the tool’s user manual:
This tool is designed for clinical research mostly in operating rooms or in intensive care units for detection of deterioration or remission of brain function over hours of sample. The current tool contains the BRI (brain reactivity index) marker for orientation, or selective attention, of short responses of the brain to stimuli. Such short responses are preserved in conditions of reduced consciousness (also due to anesthesia), and if they are diminished in these conditions, it implies an acute brain dysfunction.
The current tool also contains the CEIrc (or CEI for reduced consciousness), which is the CEI marker for sustained attention summarized over longer periods in order to detect changes in levels of consciousness, such as awareness. The markers of the monitor study kit could be used in real-time or could be analyzed offline.
Currently the medical EEG system used most often is the single channel easy to use BIS Medtronic, but other medical EEG systems are also used.
