EGI develops non-invasive multimodal technologies to monitor brain activity and provide transcranial electrical stimulation in brain research.

EGI’s proprietary dense array electroencephalography (EEG) technology collects data from more electrodes than conventional EEG. The technology is used to evaluate the electrical activity in the brain.

Developed by EGI, Geodesic Sensor Net (GSN) can produce high-resolution data and is used worldwide by neuroscience researchers.

Magstim Group CEO Lothar Krinke said: “This adds high-density EEG to our product portfolio, supporting more than 1,200 research labs and clinics that focus on mental health, brain disorders and cognitive neuroscience.
