Mobile EEG can describe anything from treadmill walking beside stationary equipment to outdoor recording with a fully wearable system. In 2017, a research paper proposed a framework for describing these differences. Nearly a decade later, it provides a useful way to look at how mobile EEG technology has developed.
At Mentalab, we know that exceptional neuroscience data doesn't just depend on advanced hardware, it starts with meticulous preparation. The International 10-20 System is the gold standard for electrode placement.
In the world of biosignals, the most complete insights come from combining multiple modalities. While eye tracking provides a precise map of visual attention and external focus, EEG adds a layer of depth by capturing simultaneous neural activity.
Neuroscience is moving beyond the sterile laboratory as Extended Reality bridges the gap between controlled environments and the complexity of real life. By synchronizing immersive worlds with real-time biosignals, we are unlocking new frontiers in neuroplasticity and mental health recovery. This shift toward ethical "closed-loop" systems marks the beginning of a truly attuned and patient-centered era of brain science.
The integration of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) into interactive media has transitioned neurogaming from a niche entertainment sector into a viable domain for cognitive therapeutics and neurorehabilitation. This field relies heavily on neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize synaptic connections in…
This article demonstrates how Mentalab Explore EEG devices can be integrated with VR headsets to create real-time, brain-driven virtual environments. By processing EEG data in Python, extracting Alpha band power, and streaming it to Unity via Lab Streaming Layer, mental states directly influence immersive VR feedback. The prototype shows how EEG-based biofeedback in virtual reality can move beyond flat screens and support more natural, interactive research and training applications.
Mobile EEG is reshaping sports science by enabling high-quality brain recordings in real athletic environments. Research shows that neural patterns differ across athletes, tasks, and sports. These findings reveal how attention, cognitive load, and motor coordination manifest in real time. This opens pathways to individualised performance optimisation, neurofeedback, and future applications in rehabilitation and human performance monitoring.
