Somnology – The Science Of Sleep
Sleep research investigates the complex architecture of rest, from the transitions between sleep stages to the neural mechanisms of memory consolidation and recovery. Traditionally confined to the lab, modern sleep science now demands tools that allow for ambulatory sleep monitoring without sacrificing data quality.
Mentalab’s high-precision mobile EEG technology allows for unobtrusive, long-term monitoring of the sleeping brain. By prioritizing comfort and signal integrity, our system enables naturalistic sleep studies in the participant’s own home, capturing authentic data on circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cycles.
Our Solution – Mentalab Explore Pro
- Comprehensive PSG Capabilities: Modular and flexible ExG electrode options for acquiring EOG, EMG, and ECG alongside high-density EEG.
- Multimodal Integration: Seamlessly sync with third-party devices (e.g., PLUX Biosignals for SpO2 and Respiration) to create a complete mobile PSG setup.
- Comfort-First Design: A lightweight, wearable EEG design that minimizes sleep disruption, ideal for overnight EEG recordings.
- Analysis-Ready Data: Fully compatible with leading software like Yasa (for automated sleep scoring), EEGLAB, and MNE-Python.
- High-Fidelity Signal: Wired and wireless EEG with up to 32 channels and high sampling rates to capture fast-frequency events like sleep spindles.
- Precision Synchronization: High-precision wireless event marking (< 1 ms) for time-locking auditory or sensory stimulation during sleep.
