Main Benefit

The MindSet is NeuroSky’s flagship headset.  Reknowned for its ease-of-use by over 200 universities worldwide,  the EEG signal is measured through a comfortable dry electrode. Data collected by this system is output in the form of raw-brainwaves, EEG power spectrums (alpha waves, beta waves, etc) , attention (eSense measured), meditation (eSense measured), and the quality of the data being collected.  

Overview

The MindSet was the first mass market EEG headset when it debuted in 2009.  The device consists of earphone, a microphone, and a sensor arm.  The headset’s reference and ground electrodes are on the ear phones and the EEG electrode is on the end of the sensor arm, sitting on the forehead above the eye. Not only can it collect research-grade EEG data, but it features a set of high-quality Bluetooth enabled wireless headphones complete with microphone. The MindSet is versatile, compact, and portable. It is an excellent choice for gaming, research, or public installations. 

*Note: Windows 8 and 64 bit versions of Mac may have issues with the installation. A new installer is forthcoming and will be posted on our support site at http://mindset.neurosky.com .

The MindSet is not compatible with iOS.
