How can you record EEG outside the laboratory in extreme environments? This video demonstrates a portable EEG workflow using the Unicorn BCI Core-4 Headband during a neuroscience expedition on Mount Kazbek (5,054 m), where brain activity was recorded at altitudes of up to 4,200 m.
The Unicorn BCI Core-4 Headband is a compact wireless EEG system designed for rapid setup and mobile brain-signal acquisition. Its integrated dry EEG electrodes eliminate the need for conductive gel, making it particularly suitable for portable EEG, field neuroscience and real-world experiments where conventional laboratory setups are impractical.
During the expedition, researchers used the system to acquire EEG under challenging conditions including high altitude, reduced oxygen availability (hypoxia), low temperatures and remote mountain environments.
The video demonstrates the complete workflow, including EEG setup, signal acquisition and recording of established neuroscience paradigms:
• Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP)
• Auditory Evoked Potentials (AEP)
• Resting-State EEG
The Unicorn BCI Core-4 Headband provides 4-channel wireless EEG acquisition with 24-bit resolution and 250 Hz sampling in a lightweight wearable system. Beyond field research, it can be used for Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) development, neurofeedback, cognitive neuroscience, education and mobile EEG experiments.
For developers and researchers building custom applications, the Unicorn ecosystem supports Python development with g.Pype, Unity integration and real-time EEG processing workflows.
This real-world experiment demonstrates how portable and wearable EEG technology can extend neuroscience research beyond controlled laboratory environments and into locations where brain activity has traditionally been difficult to measure.
