EEG headset compatibility & reliability
Which consumer brainwave headsets work with iborg, and how reliably they perform, from real, anonymized sessions. Pick your headset for a full guide, or start with the built-in demo.
| Headset | Sensors | Sample rate | Connect | Sessions | Good contact | Response seen | Common browsers |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Muse | 4 ch | 256 Hz | No install (Bluetooth) | Not enough data yet | Not enough data yet | - | - |
| OpenBCI | 8 ch | 250 Hz | No install (USB serial connection) | Not enough data yet | Not enough data yet | - | - |
| Emotiv | 14 ch | 128 Hz | Helper app | Not enough data yet | Not enough data yet | - | - |
| Neurosity Crown | 8 ch | 256 Hz | Helper app | Not enough data yet | Not enough data yet | - | - |
| NeuroSky | 1 ch | 512 Hz | No install (USB serial connection) | 16 · 3 people | 100% | - | Chrome 16 |
Reliability figures are pooled, anonymized aggregates and appear once a headset has at least 5 sessions; below that we say “not enough data yet” instead of implying a measurement. Numbers are never blended across different sensor layouts. “Response seen” is the share of gentle-flicker try-it-out readings where a brain response showed up.

No headset? No problem.
Try iborg with a built-in demo signal. No hardware, no sign-up. The demo is always clearly labelled as not a real measurement, and it never contributes to research.
