What it notices
- Calm
- Focus
- Head motion
For yoga, tai chi, reading and calm minutes with qPad.
General wellness insight, not medical advice.
Putting it on
Slide it on like a sweatband with the pods at your forehead, then pull the strap until it feels snug, not tight. qPad shows a simple check before each session, so you know the sensors are touching.
Care
Woven sage band, two soft forehead pods, dry sensors and an adjustable strap. Wipe the pods with a soft, damp cloth. Hand wash the band in cool water and let it dry flat.
How people use it
Water Rhythm
A gentle pool session, guided from qPad on the deck.
Daily Movement
Seated stretches, with qPad keeping the pace.
Reading Rhythm
A calm read, with Brainwear following how settled you feel.
Tai chi
Slow forms outdoors. The band stays put as you turn.
Word Quest
Picture word games that keep language and memory busy.
Together
Look back on the day's rhythm with someone you walk with.
The research behind Brainwear
Teams around the world have shown that a headband can read brain activity outside the lab. We are building on that work for the people it can help most.
These studies used other teams' research and consumer headbands. They show what headband EEG can do; they are not tests of Brainwear.
Co-create a study with usWho has studied headband EEG
France French Armed Forces Biomedical Research Institute, with Dreem
A dry-sensor headband was compared with a full sleep lab test, polysomnography, in 25 adults. Its sleep staging agreed with the lab 83.5% of the time, close to the 86.4% of trained human scorers.

A low-cost consumer headband picked up the same brain responses that lab systems measure during attention tasks.

89 healthy adults aged 40 to 79 used a dry-sensor headset with tablet games at home for twelve weeks, about four times a week against a goal of five. It is the closest study to how Brainwear and qPad work together.

A small study found that care home residents living with dementia could wear a consumer EEG headband.

Why Brainwear is different
- Made for older adults from the first sketch, not adapted later: a soft woven band, dry sensors with no gel, and pods shaped to rest gently on the forehead.
- Headband and screen are designed as one. qPad pairs once, then a single key starts each session, so there is nothing to set up day to day.
- It measures during things people enjoy: reading, word games, music and movement. People come back, so the picture builds week after week.
An age-inclusive company
- We design with older adults, not just for them. Every product starts as a question we explore with the people who will wear it.
- The studies we co-create are shaped with older adults and their care partners, never simply run on them.
- Age is not a setting. Everything works the same for everyone, with room to go at your own pace.
Designed for access
- Four large tactile keys, each with its own colour and symbol, so you can find them without reading.
- Large, high contrast type on qPad, and no menus to learn.
- No gel, no wires and no fiddly clasps. One adjustable strap fits most heads.
- Sessions work seated or standing, at the pace you set.
Our commitment to you
- General wellness, not medical advice. Brainwear does not diagnose or treat any condition.
- Your readings are yours. You choose what is shared, and family sees only the parts you switch on.
- Research only with your consent. If you join a study, you are told what is collected and why, and you can leave at any time.
