Introducing the Galea Beta Program
Introducing Galea, 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 XR-3 Mixed Reality and Varjo Aero Virtual Reality headsets, as well as robust SDKs with ready-to-use building blocks for accessing sensor data in Unity, Python, and other common development environments. Enhance your research and development efforts with Galea today.
