Take advantage of the Emotiv EPOC neuroheadset to conduct EEG research. 
Join the Emotiv Research Community by licensing an Emotiv Software Development Kit (SDK) for research.   


Depending on whether you are an independent researcher (individuals, companies or incorporated entities that had a turnover less than US$100,000 in their last fiscal year), educational institute or enterprise, we offer an environment for you to conduct EEG research leveraging the Emotiv EPOC technology.

The Emotiv Software Development Kit for research includes a 14 channel (plus CMS/DRL references, P3/P4 locations) high resolution, neuro-signal acquisition and processing wireless neuroheadset.  Channel names based on the International 10-20 locations are: AF3, F7, F3, FC5, T7, P7, O1, O2, P8, T8, FC6, F4, F8, AF4.

TestBenchTM software included in the research SDK provides:

  • Real-time display of the Emotiv headset data stream, including EEG, contact quality, FFT, gyro (if fitted – custom option), wireless packet acquisition/loss display, marker events, headset battery level.
  • Record and replay files in binary EEGLAB format1. Command line file converter included to produce .csv format.
  • Define and insert timed markers into the data stream, including on-screen buttons and defined serial port events. Markers are stored in EEG data file
  • Marker definitions can be saved and reloaded. Markers are displayed in real time and playback modes. 
  • Export screenshot for documentation

Licensing of the Emotiv SDK

The process for licensing the Emotiv SDK is as follows:

1. Select the appropriate Emotiv SDK and click on the "Add to Cart" or "Buy Now" button. 

2. Provide us with your shipping address. The SDK headset can be shipped to an address other than your billing address.

3. Follow the checkout process to complete your order.

4. Once payment is successfully processed, the Emotiv SDK will be available for immediate download. An order confirmation email will be sent to you providing you with your unique order number and serial key, required for installation of the Emotiv SDK.

5. The SDK headset will ship approximately 2 weeks later to enable you to fully test your application.

When we charge your account, we will charge you for the price of the product, any applicable taxes and shipping to the address provided at the time of order.
