    Research Hardware

    The XB-01 (Ex-Brain)

    NeU has developed an ultra-compact and lightweight brain sensor to measure and visualize brain activity in real-time!

    Ultra-compact, weighing only 30 grams (battery included) and measuring 80 X 40 X 13 mm with a unique “butterfly-style” design that bends in the middle to conform easily to any individual’s forehead. To properly perform brain training, it is important that brain training is performed when the brain is active, and by measuring brain activity with a sensor, you can further enhance the effects and results of the brain training program.

    The XB-01 is the world’s smallest and lightest brain activity measuring device in its class.

    • Ultra-compact, weighing only 30 grams and measuring 80 X 40 X 13 mm.
    • Only 13 mm thick with a “butterfly-style” design that bends in the middle to conform easily to any individual’s forehead.
    • Data is transferred via Bluetooth in real-time to any smartphone or tablet, making it possible to measure brain activity anytime and anywhere.
    • A built-in lithium-ion battery allows the XB-01 to operate continuously for around 3 hours.
    • Brain activity is measured using NIRS technology and the brain’s rate of blood flow change is measured using weak near-infrared light.
    • 6-axis acceleration sensors are built into the main body to detect the head’s movement and body movement noise.
    • Combining multiple parameters in addition to measuring brain activity allows the XB-01 to create measurement indexes with improved accuracy that has never been seen before.
    • The XB-01 can be used in scenarios such as Cognitive function training, Movement + cognitive function training, Stress coping, Learning, Utilization of IoH, and much more!

    Features

    The XB-01 is the world’s most ultra-compact brain measuring device in its class:

    NeU’s XB-01 is an integrated sensor-type device that weighs only 30 grams and measures 80 × 40 × 13 mm. In addition, Bluetooth capabilities to transfer data to any smartphone or tablet in real-time allows the XB-01 to be used in any environment. Moreover, its unique “butterfly-style” design that bends in the middle, allows the XB-01 to conform to any forehead shape and size.

    User-friendly design:

    The XB-01 includes a built-in battery that lasts up to 3 hours, a USB charging terminal, easy to use buttons and switches, a handy holder and a designated headband.

    Measuring brain activity is now possible on-the-go:

    Brain activity measurements were conventionally done in controlled settings such as research laboratories, but the XB-01 with its ultra-compact design can be used in any environment (such as at home or at work). In conjunction with a band-type holder, the XB-01 can be comfortably attached or detached for use in scenarios such inside the hat of a transport driver, or a work site helmet, and so forth, to help prevent accidents and improve work productivity.

    Real-time measurement provides extensive usage in various scenarios:

    The ultra-compact design of the XB-01 can provide solutions for various usage scenarios such as Cognitive function training, Movement + cognitive function training, Stress coping, Learning and the Utilization of IoH.

    1. Cognitive function training
    In recent years, it has been found that the higher the activity of the prefrontal cortex during cognitive function training, the afterward effects of improving cognitive function was much higher. It has also revealed that cognitive function training can contribute to maintaining the health of the brain as well.
    By using the XB-01 in conjunction with the latest cognitive training programs provided by NeU, users can easily monitor the activation level of their prefrontal cortex in real-time during training. This provides users with the world’s first “individualized optimization cognitive training” that allows a customized program to be selected that can continually load the prefrontal cortex according to the physical conditions of the day.
    In addition, by performing real-time monitoring of prefrontal activities during cognitive training together with internal (mental) efforts to raise brain activity, a neuro-feedback effect occurs where higher cognitive functional improvements can be achieved.

    2. Movement + cognitive function training
    It is a well-known fact that the secretion of BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor), which is a growth factor of neurons, is carried out after aerobic exercise. By combining aerobic exercise with cognitive training and programming, a more effective cognitive function training can be achieved. The XB-01 also provides a heart rate monitoring function due to its ability to measure changes in blood flow rate, which makes it possible to quantify exercise load during aerobic exercises. With the use of this function, a combination of aerobic exercises with moderate load and cognitive function training can now be offered in one package.

    3. Stress coping
    By utilizing the features of the XB-01, stress coping training can now be performed easily at home or at the workplace by controlling and visualizing one’s brain activities, resulting in an overall reduction in the amount of stress hormones.

    4. Learning
    Being able to visualize brain activity during the learning process allows the learner to objectively know the degree of his/her concentration level. The learner can then and modify and make changes to his/her environment to better enhances concentration and memory abilities. This process can be applied not only to students, but also to professionals who want to improve their work productivity and performance.

    5. Utilization of IoH
    By monitoring brain activity in daily scenarios and environments, and collecting and analyzing its data in the cloud, it is possible to record the brain’s load status of (for example) drivers and workers, to encourage moderate breaks and avoid unnecessary work-related stress, contributing to an improvement in society’s overall quality of life.
