Can you record real brain activity from an alpaca while it is walking? In this video, we demonstrate real-time EEG recording from Merlin the alpaca using the Unicorn BCI Core-8, a wireless EEG and brain-computer interface (BCI) platform designed for neuroscience research and neurotechnology development.
The Unicorn BCI Core-8 captures high-quality neural signals directly from the animal in a real-world environment, proving that EEG acquisition and brain-computer interface research are no longer limited to the laboratory. With its lightweight design, wireless connectivity, and flexible electrode configurations, Unicorn makes mobile EEG recording simple and accessible.
Whether you are developing BCI applications, studying animal cognition, building neurofeedback systems, or exploring wearable neurotechnology, the Unicorn BCI Core-8 provides a powerful platform for acquiring and analyzing brain signals in real time.
With Unicorn you can:
• Record EEG in minutes
• Build applications with Python, Unity, and mobile devices
• Stream and process brain signals in real time
• Create your own neurotechnology and BCI projects
