The EMOTIV Insight is a 5-channel prosumer EEG system with semi-dry polymer sensors, delivering clean, reliable signals. Its sleek design and 20-hour battery life make it ideal for self-quantification, brain-computer interfaces, and field research.
Add EmotivPRO subscription
EmotivPRO is an optional extension designed for advanced users, in fields such as research and education. It adds raw EEG real-time data capability, EEG experiments, view, record, and export various data streams, including FFT frequency bands, and Performance Metrics.
Revolutionary EEG Sensor Technology
Insight boasts EMOTIV’s proprietary polymer sensor technology. The hydrophilic material does not need gel to maintain conductivity with the skin*. Instead, the sensors draw moisture from the environment, making Insight our most versatile EEG headset without compromising conductivity.
*Minimal fluid needed.
