EEG Made Simple

APEX

Meet our wearable and user-friendly device that measures 24 or 32 channels of high-quality EEG signals. Its compact and lightweight design gives you the freedom to record measurements anywhere.

The APEX can be paired with various types of EEG accessories for use in various applications.

Why APEX?

APEX takes the complexity out of EEG measurements, delivering high-quality results through a simple and versatile setup—so you can put the focus on your research. Key Highlights:

  • Capture 24 or 32 channels of high-quality EEG signals in a compact design. APEX offers flexibility in signal referencing, from combining all channels to a single one, and supports a wide frequency range for detailed analysis.

  • APEX is ideal for both stationary and mobile research. With wired or wireless options, onboard memory (32GB) for up to 50 sessions, and a wearable cradle for easy recording on the move, it adapts to your needs in any setting.

  • Ensure accurate data with low-latency, high-quality EEG signals, continuous impedance measurement, and active shielding to reduce noise. APEX provides real-time feedback on the headcap connection, so you can record with confidence.

  • APEX is compatible with a variety of accessories, including gel caps, water-based electrode caps, and cEEgrids, providing you with multiple options to customize your setup for different research needs.

  • The intuitive APEX User Application simplifies signal monitoring and data recording. Easily configure settings, check impedance, and prepare data for analysis in MATLAB or Python, with direct Python integration for advanced workflows.
