Mobile Brain-Body Imaging (MoBI) & Sports Neuroscience
Mobile EEG and Mobile Brain–Body Imaging (MoBI) represent a paradigm shift in neuroscience, allowing for the measurement of (neuro)physiological activity during physical exertion and real-world movement. This approach enables researchers to capture neural signals outside the laboratory to study how the brain adapts under high coordination demands or how elite athletes maintain focus under pressure.
Mentalab’s ambulatory EEG technology is built for ecological validity. Artefact Subspace Reconstruction (ASR), available through Mentalab Explore Signals, allows for the removal of non-brain signals, making EEG viable for high-intensity movement. By combining high-precision neural data with integrated motion sensors, our system provides the most robust platform for tracking cognitive and physiological states in naturalistic environments and sports arenas.
Our Solution – Mentalab Explore Pro
- Designed for Motion: Lightweight, wearable EEG design that minimizes movement artifacts and supports naturalistic sports studies.
- Unmatched Portability: 8GB internal Flash memory for offline EEG data acquisition when outside of Bluetooth range.
- Superior Data Cleaning: Real-time Artefact Subspace Reconstruction (ASR) via Explore Signals to ensure clean data during vigorous activity.
- Full-Body Integration: Wireless, high-resolution EEG (up to 32 channels) that integrates with kinematic sensors and IMUs via LSL.
- Millisecond Precision: High-precision wireless event marking (< 1 ms) for accurate ERP analysis even during active movement.
- Multi-Subject Tracking: Hypersync for team-based studies, enabling the analysis of inter-person dynamics in team sports.
