About X.on
X.on is a new EEG headset where the intersection of quality and usability meet.
Developed by Brain Products’ team of experts
The sleek and mimimalistic device was developed by Brain Products’ team of experts, who have been successfully providing research-grade neurophysiology solutions for more than 25 years.
High quality EEG signals
To deliver high quality EEG signals and an impeccable user experience, X.on combines saltwater sponge-based electrodes on the outside and high-grade electronics on the inside.
Quick and easy access to brain signals
X.on comes with applications for Android™ and Windows® PC, allowing anyone to access brain signals quickly and easily. Put it on, switch it on, get your phone or PC and dive into the beautiful traces your brain draws or access the signal from the network stream that is available instantaneously.
Would you rather use iOS? No problem! X.on is compatible with PEER, providing you a fully functional analysis tool for recording and analyzing ERPs from well-known paradigms.

User Feedback
Prof. Olav Krigolson
University of Victoria, Canada
I think the entire world has been waiting for a mobile EEG headset that is easy to put on, easy to use, and that delivers high quality data – and in my opinion X.on is that headset.
When we got our first X.on, we took it out of the case and were literally getting great EEG data in a matter of minutes.
Given the quality, portability, and ease of use, I see X.on as the first real solution for research grade mobile EEG.
Federico Claudi
McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, USA
Being one of the organizers of MIT’s 1st BCI hackathon, I held X.on in my hand for the first time when preparing for the event.
Once I had the right code example to refer to, starting to stream the data was a breeze! In less than 30 seconds I was good to go.
You all did an awesome job with this device!
Jack Gabel
McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, USA
I used the X.on extensively during the MIT BCI Hackathon (Feb 24-25, 2024).
The device is sturdy and portable. It was effortless to set up and start streaming high-quality EEG data.
Also, the staff from the X.on team were super helpful!
Ruidong Chen
McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, USA
I had the opportunity to test the X.on headset for the MIT BCI hackathon where my team controlled a wheeled robot with EEG signals.
It was easy to work with and had consistent signal for hours!
Why X.on
To make EEG accessible to anyone curious about the human brain, we are offering X.on as a solution that makes collecting brain data simple and straightforward without compromising signal quality.
Usability
Quick and easy hardware setup; intuitive control via the X.on Apps for Android™ or PC; no EEG know-how required
Signal Quality
Good and reliable EEG data; certified by Brain Products.
Data Access
Allows you to exit the black box and process your raw data offline or online via Lab Streaming Layer (LSL).
Design
Sleek but robust, thus combining functionality with aesthetics.
Budget
No worries if you are new to the EEG field or lacking grant money. The X.on set is available for 2499€ (excl. shipping, tax and customs) and includes everything you need to get started right away.
Flexibility
Do you need several devices deployed in the field (i.e., for education or teaching purposes)? Or maybe you need a “take home” solution to collect data outside of the lab? X.on gives you all the flexibility you can imagine in terms of experimental design, recording population, and more.
