A General-Purpose Non-invasive Neurotechnology Research Platform

This article describes our initial work toward a general-purpose platform for non-invasive neurotechnology research. This platform consists of a multi-modal wireless recording device, an associated software API, and full integration into BCI2000 software. The device is placed on the forehead and features two electroencephalographic (EEG) sensors, an inertial movement sensor (IMU), a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor, a microphone, and vibration-based feedback. Herein, we demonstrate different technical characteristics of our platform and its use in the context of sleep monitoring/modulation, simultaneous and synchronized recordings from different hardware, and evoked potentials. With further development and widespread dissemination, our platform could become an important tool for research into new non-invasive neurotechnology protocols in humans. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
