Emotiv Systems

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emotiv Systems is an Australian electronics company developing braincomputer

interfaces based on electroencephalography (EEG) technology. Emotiv System's products are
the Emotiv EPOC, a peripheral for gaming on Windows, OS X and Linux, and the Emotiv EEG
neuroheadset.[1] The EPOC has 16 electrodes and is meant to work as a computer input
device.[2]
A 2013 review rated the device inferior to comparable medical-grade EEG headsets.
Susceptibility to RF interference due to the device's unshielded cables, and electrode corrosion
were noted as problems.[3]

Censorship of criticism[edit]
Emotiv's forum rapidly censors any threads containing comments not favorable to their product
or critical of their customer service. There has been considerable discussion of this issue on
the same forum, which has also been censored. [4]
