- Emotiv is an Australian electronics company founded in 2003 that develops brain-computer interface technology using EEG sensors. - Emotiv's main product is the Emotiv EPOC, a 14 sensor headset that detects electrical brain activity to recognize conscious thoughts, emotions, and facial expressions. It can detect 13 types of movements, emotional states like excitement and frustration, and facial expressions like smiling. - The Emotiv EPOC uses a training process to develop profiles for users and then an executing process to match sensed brain activity to trained actions or expressions.
