Galea is the cutting-edge hardware and software platform that revolutionizes the way you measure physiological and neurological activity. With its next-generation brain-computer interface technology and head-mounted displays, it is the world’s first device that can simultaneously measure heart rate, skin conductance, muscle activity, eye movements, and brain activity of a study participant during a virtual or mixed reality experience or simulation.
Join the Galea Beta Program and gain access to advanced neurotechnology capabilities for consumer technology, healthcare, research, training, gaming, and interactive media. Beta units include full integration with Varjo mixed reality and virtual reality headsets, plus robust SDKs with ready-to-use building blocks for accessing sensor data in Unity, Python, and other common development environments.
Watch OpenBCI founder Conor Russomano introduce Galea at the TED 2023 Conference in Vancouver.
Galea beta units come fully integrated into world-class Varjo headsets and include a cutting-edge multimodal sensor network based on nearly a decade of OpenBCI R&D. Its conductive-polymer active electrodes are the centerpiece of the world’s most comfortable dry EEG system.
