Structured around creating wearable neuro-technology software and hardware, OpenBCI Inc is usefully understood as a startup specializing in Open Source Hardware and Software designed to measure bio- potentials - EEG, EMG, and ECG. This company spun out of work undertaken ny one of the tounder's work with Creare, a NH based engineering firm, on a DARPA funded program to design and build a low-cost EEG platform for non-traditional users. Principals of the firm have completed two successfully funded Kickstarter campaigns to fund a production of the hardware and build community around projects. OpenBCI creates open-source tools for bio-sensing and neuroscience. OpenBCIs mission is to lower the barrier to entry for brain-computer interfacing, while ensuring that these technologies are adopted into the consumer landscape in an ethical way that protects user agency and mental health. OpenBCIs Latest Project OpenBCIs latest project is called Galea. Galea is a hardware and software platform that merges next-generation biometrics with mixed reality. Galea is the first device that integrates EEG, EMG, EDA, PPG, and eye-tracking into a single headset. By combining a multi-modal sensor system with the immersion of augmented and virtual reality, Galea gives researchers, developers, and creators a powerful new tool for understanding and augmenting the human mind and
