iBrain: Mapping the Mind at Home

A New Approach to Brain Monitoring

For decades, brain activity monitoring was limited to hospitals and sleep labs. Patients had to undergo complex procedures involving multiple electrodes, wires, and overnight stays. This environment made it difficult to capture natural brain patterns.

iBrain changes the equation. It is a lightweight, wearable device that records brain signals while users go about their normal routines. Whether during sleep or rest, the data collected reflects a more accurate picture of how the brain functions outside clinical walls.

What Powers the iBrain System

At the heart of iBrain is a streamlined, single-channel EEG system. The setup involves three small electrodes, two behind the ears and one on the forehead. Once in place, the device silently records brainwave activity.

The unit includes:

• A rechargeable battery for extended use
• Built-in memory to store several hours of brain data
• Automated start and stop functions for ease of use

This simplicity allows users to operate the device without technical assistance or special training.

How It Supports Sleep and Brain Health

One of iBrain’s most valuable uses is sleep tracking. The system helps identify patterns and disruptions that could signal a disorder or reflect how the brain responds to medication, stress, or fatigue. For example, iBrain can detect:

• Irregular sleep cycles
• Interrupted REM stages
• Reduced deep sleep
• Unusual brainwave shifts overnight

This data is crucial for understanding long-term neurological health and sleep quality.

Comfortable, Everyday Design

iBrain’s headband is soft, adjustable, and barely noticeable during use. It does not involve sticky gels, wires, or lab equipment. This comfort encourages longer, more frequent recording sessions, whether someone is sleeping, resting, or just relaxing at home.

Because of its design, users can collect high-quality data in a stress-free environment.

Why Researchers Use It

iBrain supports scientific research in aging, sleep science, cognitive health, and pharmaceutical studies. Its portability allows researchers to track participants over days or weeks. This offers deeper insights into how the brain behaves in natural, uncontrolled environments.

More consistent data means better outcomes in studies and greater understanding of complex brain conditions.
