Revolutionary brain-computer interface: Lab-quality EEG Kit that makes advanced neurotech accessible
The BROADMIND Research Kit is the world’s first device to combine lab-quality neurotechnology with the accessibility of a consumer product and open-source software ecosystem support.
We’re at the forefront of neurotechnology and AI, and our non-surgical wearable brain-computer interface (BCI) allows users to access State-of-the-Art neuroscience achievements, like cognitive enhancement and controlling devices and applications, with their minds.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between groundbreaking neuroscience and everyday life. We accelerate the transition of advanced neurotech from the lab to the public, empowering individuals with cutting-edge brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies.
By developing an easy-to-use Research Kit, we are democratizing access to these tools, enabling rapid innovation and fast adoption, making the latest neuroscience breakthroughs accessible to all.
Advanced brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies are very costly and difficult to use, so they are only available at the world’s best research labs.
The path from the lab to consumer adoption often takes multiple years and is very expensive. Ultimately, only a few individuals have access to these groundbreaking technologies. Technologies that enable controlling devices with your mind and other applications.
We’re here to change it!
The BROADMIND Research Kit breaks down these barriers, allowing individuals to access state-of-the-art AI models, lab-grade hardware, and immersive BCI applications from home.
Whether you want to play games, explore neurofeedback, or develop your own applications, BROADMIND provides an easy-to-use, ethical, and accessible solution to bring neurotechnology into everyday life.
FULL KIT SPECIFICATIONS: Best-in-class EEG signal with 8 active electrodes!
BROADMIND empowers users to take control of their technological experiences through their thoughts. With high-quality EEG hardware and seamless AI-driven software, this kit offers endless possibilities.
Whether you want to play games, explore neurofeedback, or develop your own applications, BROADMIND provides an easy-to-use, ethical, and accessible solution to bring neurotechnology into everyday life.
We developed a multimodal app that enables anyone to try mind-gaming out of the box. We combine eye-tracking with built-in accelerometer data and mental commands (BCI) for a smooth, precise, and inclusive BCI gaming experience accessible to everyone.
Create your mental commands! Imagine pushing an enemy? to attack, cling a jaw to fire, or modulating your Alpha activity to cast a spell? in the game you love!
By accessing our proprietary AI-SDK, you gain access to our SOTA AI models, which will play an important role in your interaction with the BROADMIND Device.
Our apps will allow you to train your own model, leveraging our State-of-the-Art experimental models, which, for example, predict 3D hand-positioning from neural activity.
Here below is a video of how one of our machine-learning models works while predicting hand movements.
- The solid hand: this is the actual hand position, whose movements are tracked through cameras
- The lighter hand: this one is, instead, predicted by reading neural data through the BROADMIND Research Kit.
As you can see, we are 70-85% accurate: a new record in BCI performance!
We invited a software developer to test our kit and recorded a live review of his considerations of how easy it is to work with Open-Sourse SDK and how it integrates with the BROADMIND Research Kit. He tested our open-source support and accessed raw data without any restrictions in minutes!
Spoiler: he never tried it before, so this was all first and genuine feedback!

A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a technology that allows direct communication between the brain and external devices. It works by detecting brain signals, either through sensors placed on the head or implanted into the brain, and translating them into commands.
This technology, once science fiction, is becoming real and practical.
Researchers at the University of Texas in Austin, for example, have created a system that allows users to play video games with their minds. The system utilizes electroencephalography (EEG), which captures electrical brain activity and translates it into computer commands, making it possible for users to play games with just their thoughts.
The hardware used in all of those experiments is called EEG (electroencephalography). It allows neural activity to be captured from the surface of the head while employing different Machine Learning techniques allows the decoding of those signals.
We saw how users suffer from existing EEG systems (we were those people). Setting up an EEG device is a two-person job that takes quite some time (up to tens of minutes)
So we decided to change it and create our own device.
After two years of iterations, we developed a unique design and features that enable instant setup and ease of use.
You can’t find a device with this signal quality under $2,000, but we made it!
We also develop and improve BCI decoding algorithms.
Imagining “Left vs Right” and using it as an input is fun, but we wanted to take this to the next level.
We created a multimodal app that combines eye-tracking, a built-in accelerometer, and our proprietary AI algorithms to decode neural commands from the EEG. This unlocks new possibilities in performance, so even gaming with BCI is becoming viable.
Imagine pushing an object, moving your hand/legs, or a specific gesture, or visualize a fireball — Our AI will decode it, and our controller app will execute your desired action.
We also hired leading AI experts to create proprietary models and set new records in accuracy: 95% accuracy for MI & ME!
See the chart below to analyze the specific data of the predicted hand vs. the real hand, shown in the video above.
Discover mental commands that work best for you, or create your own and apply them the way you want them.
BROADMIND solves the critical bottlenecks of existing BCIs and takes them to the next level.
The BROADMIND FULL Research Kit is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to bring lab-grade neurotech into your hands.

The journey of BROADMIND began in 2019 with the vision of bringing cutting-edge brain-computer interface (BCI) technology out of the lab and into everyday life. After years of research, development, and collaboration with leading neuroscientists from prestigious institutions like EPFL, UCL, Stanford, and UC Davis, we created a device that combines lab-quality hardware with state-of-the-art AI.
Through countless iterations and feedback from experts, we refined the design to be lightweight, easy to use, and highly effective. Our mission has always been to make advanced neurotechnology accessible to everyone, and this autumn marks the launch of our Generation 1 Research Kit on Kickstarter, a significant milestone in democratizing BCI technology for developers, researchers, and tech enthusiasts alike.
