Mobile

Stream data wirelessly from 10 meters away. The battery lasts up to 10 hours and the internal memory holds 8 GB.

Icon of the Python logo above the word 'Open', representing support for open-source analysis tools and API's such as Python, MATLAB, BrainFlow and NeuroPype.

Open

Integrate your analysis pipeline with our APIs – they’re all open-source. Think: Python, MATLAB, BrainFlow, NeuroPype. We don’t do proprietary.

Icon of a leaf above the word 'Comfortable', symbolizing the lightweight design and soft, user-friendly materials of the Mentalab neoprane cap options.

Comfortable

Don’t worry about your hardware. At 27g, Explore Pro has the smallest footprint on the market, and our caps are made from stretchy, soft neoprene.

Icon of code brackets above the word 'Integrated', representing the seamless compatibility of the Mentalab Explore Pro with various data analysis and pipeline tools.

Integrated

Don’t feel restricted by the tools you use. We’ve made it easy to integrate Explore Pro with whatever data pipeline you use.

Designed for your needs

We collaborate closely with scientists, researchers and engineers to shape our solutions.

Through consistent feedback, we’ve learned their demand for an open-source, modular, ambulatory amplifier that combines ease of use with scientific precision. This input has guided the development of our three core design principles: performance, flexibility, mobility.

Our focus remains on understanding our clients’ needs and delivering innovative, continuously evolving solutions.

The Explore system features a small, wireless amplifier capable of capturing high-quality data. In several experiments, we evaluated the data quality and captured reliable EEG signals. This system can be used for developing many neuroscientific studies and applications that need to run outside of clinics or institutions.

The system was easy to deploy, lightweight and comfortable for the wearer. We were able to use it flexibly for both EMG and EEG. Software was intuitive. Technical support from Mentalab was rapid, efficient and very helpful even for complex requests.

Prof. Alexis Hervais-AdelmanUniversität Zürich

The signals that the Explore was recording were incredibly high quality and very clean. ADInstruments have a very strong and trusted reputation in the life science research sector and we want to be associated with high quality products and manufacturers. So we were interested in integrating Mentalab’s Explore device with LabChart Lightning.
