Roadmap

Beyond EEG: every biophysical marker, one ecosystem

The BCI-32 is the anchor. Around it we're building the full stack of physiological sensing — heart, skin, breath, muscle, eyes, blood oxygen — with synchronized timestamps and one open firmware philosophy. Buy a module, flash it, stream it into the same recording as your EEG.

Upcoming modules

🫀
In development · Q1 2027

ECG / HRV Module — MM-ECG

Single-lead ECG at 500 Hz with R-peak detection in firmware. Streams beat-to-beat intervals for HRV markers (RMSSD, SDNN, pNN50) computed on-device or downstream. 3-electrode lead set included.

⚡
In development · Q1 2027

EDA / GSR Module — MM-EDA

Electrodermal activity at 32 Hz — tonic skin conductance level plus phasic scratch responses. Snapped dry finger electrodes, passive shielding, marker output in µS.

🫁
Prototype · Q2 2027

Respiration Belt — MM-RESP

Inductive stretch belt, 25 Hz sampling, breath rate + amplitude in firmware. Complements EEG for autonomic-state markers and artifact regression.

🌡️
Prototype · Q2 2027

Skin Temperature Pod — MM-THERM

Medical-grade 0.01 °C resolution thermistor pod for peripheral temperature trends — a classic stress/arousal marker. Clips anywhere; syncs over the same bus.

🩸
Planned · Q3 2027

PPG / SpO₂ Wrist & Ear Clip

Photoplethysmography at 100 Hz: pulse rate, perfusion index and estimated SpO₂. Ear-clip variant pairs naturally with EEG reference sites.

💪
Planned · Q3 2027

EMG 16-Channel — MM-EMG16

Surface EMG at 2 kHz per channel, firmware RMS envelopes. Facial EMG variant ships with holders that click into the custom 3D-printed cap.

👁️
Planned · Q4 2027

EOG / Eye-Movement Ring

Four-channel electrooculography for blink rate, saccade detection and fixation estimation — the affordable sibling of eye tracking, streamed with your EEG.

🧠
Concept · 2028

fNIRS 16-Channel — MM-NIRS

Near-infrared spectroscopy for frontal oxygenation (HbO/HbR) — the tissue-oxygenation marker EEG can't see. Multi-distance optodes, co-registered with EEG positions.

Prototype · Q2 2027

MM-SYNC Hub

One box that time-aligns every module with your BCI-32 over a common 1 kHz clock — single LSL stream, single SD log, zero sync headaches. Triggers in/out for stimulus rigs.

Software

The marker engine

Sensors are only half the story. Every module feeds the NF Marker Engine — an open-source firmware + host library that turns raw signals into research-grade markers.

EEG markers

Band powers (δ θ α β γ), frontal asymmetry, ERP averaging, eyes-closed/eyes-open index, artifact rejection with ICA presets.

Autonomic markers

HRV time/frequency domain, skin conductance responses, respiratory rate and sinus arrhythmia, peripheral temperature slopes.

Cross-modal markers

EEG–HRV coupling, motion artifacts flagged from accelerometer data, vigilance index from combined EEG + EOG.

Open pipeline

CSV/EDF export, LSL outlets per marker, Python + MATLAB examples. Your data, your pipeline — no cloud required.

Timeline
