Developed by NeuroVigil, the iBrain is the first portable brain scanner.


Unlike other brain scanners, the iBrain simplifies the number of EEG channels to just one, creating a map of brain activity that is more accurate and easier to read. Scientist Stephen Hawking is currently participating in iBrain research that could ultimately help ALS sufferers like himself to communicate via brainwaves. iBrain can also provide researchers valuable insight into diseases such as Alzheimer, Schizophrenia,  Parkinson’s, and Autism – insight that will speed the development of drugs and cures to help millions of sufferers worldwide.
