I chose Unicorn Hybrid Black because it’s simple to use. It doesn’t require much time nor knowledge about how to use it. I think everyone can learn how to use it quickly.
Maša Jazbec - University of Arts in Linz
I make digital arts in combination with light and audio animation. Since I want to develop all my tools from scratch on my own, Unicorn Hybrid Black was the perfect solution. The brain activity influences my visual arts, every time I start my visualization with the BCI, it looks differently.
Alex Guevara - Visual Artist
The Unicorn Naked BCI is awesome. I love the flexibility it gives me for developing my own interfaces.
Craig Ades - Florida Atlantic University
Our students often request to learn about brain-computer interfaces because its a hot topic these days. So, we use the Unicorn Education Kit to create lab exercises for students in Biomedical Engineering and Smart Home & Assistive Technologies. In one course, we record EEG data and get into it. In another course, we process the EEG data and dive into more technical lessons.
Lukas Traxler - Professor at the University of Applied Sciences, Vienna
I have known g.tec medical engineering for many years and I am used to their top-quality devices. I needed an affordable, small BCI headset that delivers good EEG data quality. So, I chose Unicorn Hybrid Black for our company. We use it for developing and testing VR games. It’s extremely easy to use and I can demonstrate EEG in a short time.
Robert Leeb - Mindmaze
My projects “Agent Unicorn“, “Pangolin Scales” and “Screendress” would not exist without g.tec’s EEG technology and Unicorn Brain Interface.
