Continuous Embedded Electroencephalogram

Early Research

Making brain-computer interfaces work for real people through open, non-invasive technology.

Why BCIs Haven't Worked Yet

Current ambulatory EEG is limited to 72 hours1. Subcutaneous devices like UNEEG can monitor for months2, but they require surgery. Neither approach has created BCIs that people actually want to use.

We believe the problem isn't just technical - it's philosophical. For BCIs to work for people, they need to be:

  • Open Source: You can see exactly how it works and modify it for your needs
  • Transparent: No black boxes, no proprietary algorithms controlling your brain data
  • Secure: Your neural data stays yours, with encryption you control
  • Trustworthy: Built by a community, not a corporation trying to monetize your thoughts
  • Non-invasive: No surgery, no implants - technology that respects your body

Our Research Focus

We're exploring how to extend non-invasive brain monitoring beyond current limits while keeping everything open source. If we can't make it work for everyone, we won't make it at all.

What We're Exploring

  • New electrode materials that stay comfortable for weeks without skin irritation
  • Power solutions that don't require daily charging or battery swaps
  • Open source signal processing that runs on your device, not the cloud
  • Data formats that you own and control completely
  • Community-driven development where users shape the technology

Build This With Us

We need people who understand that technology should serve humanity, not the other way around. Whether you're an engineer tired of closed-source medical devices, a researcher who believes in open science, or someone living with a neurological condition who knows what real solutions look like - we need your perspective.

This isn't about building the next tech unicorn. It's about making sure that when BCIs finally work, they work for everyone.
