BCI paradigms

Explore BCI with Unicorn Hybrid Black

In motor-imagery BCI the electrodes sit over the sensorimotor cortex and mental tasks such as imagining a hand or arm movement control a device. P300 paradigms use central, parietal and occipital positions for event-related-potential communication; SSVEP and code-based VEP use parietal positions for high-accuracy BCI driven by visual stimulation.

Virtual reality

Control virtual reality with your mind

With 8 EEG electrodes, Unicorn Hybrid Black enables control through mental commands. Used with a headset such as Oculus or HTC, it lets users control a virtual environment in real time.

Hybrid electrode technology

Wet or dry: reliable recording in both modes

Unicorn hybrid EEG electrodes are made of a conductive material that allows recording dry or with gel. Dry recording gives a quick, practical set-up, and conductive gel can be applied for higher performance. Reference and ground electrodes fasten securely over the mastoid bones for stable, accurate measurement.
