Axite · EEG Platform technology

Measure brain activity outside the lab, on the hardware you choose

We filter out noise and extract specific brain features. To add context, we record when someone taps their smartphone screen. Those moments show what the brain was doing right before, during and after an action.

Why Axite exists

The objectivity of a lab. The ease of a questionnaire.

Consumer EEG headsets are affordable and good enough to record the brain in daily life. What has been missing is the software that makes their signal reliable outside a controlled lab: noise handling, a way to time-lock brain activity without a task, and algorithms that turn raw EEG into measures a study can use.

That is what Axite builds. Our processing engine cleans consumer-grade EEG, aligns it to real events, and produces cognitive scores such as attention and cognitive load. It is the foundation under every product we ship.

One measurement engine, built into products for different settings.

Axite App (NeuroJournal)

A remote EEG recording app. Participants record at home with a consumer-grade headset and their phone. Research teams manage the cohort in the Axite Platform and receive raw EEG, session data and cognitive scores in open formats.

Axite Platform

The dashboard where your team follows every participant, with the processing engine and API behind it. Teams that already have a recording setup can send EEG in and receive cognitive scores back in their own application or research pipeline.

How it works

Your headband, our app, one dashboard for your team.

Participants wear an EEG headband and use the Axite App (NeuroJournal) on their own phone. Both stream into the Axite database on one clock, and your team sees every session, cleaned and scored, in the Axite Platform.

01

An EEG headband you choose

Participants use a consumer-grade EEG headband. Muse and BrainBit are supported today and more brands can be added, so your study is never tied to one manufacturer.

02

The Axite App (NeuroJournal)

Participants use their own phone as they normally would. The app records every tap at the same time as the headband records the EEG.

03

The Axite database

EEG and taps arrive on one clock. Every tap is time-locked to the EEG, so the brain response to each action can be measured without a lab task.

04

The Axite Platform

The engine removes noise and calculates attention, cognitive load, frequency bands and ratios such as theta/alpha. Your team follows every participant and exports raw EEG and scores in open formats.

Where we are heading

Certified brain monitoring for neurological care, starting with epilepsy.

Over 40% of people with epilepsy experience cognitive impairment, and cognitive side effects are one of the main reasons anti-seizure medication gets changed. Today those effects are judged from what a patient recalls in a 15-minute consultation.

Axite is developing the Axite App (NeuroJournal) as a certified medical device under the EU Medical Device Regulation (Class IIa) for measuring and displaying cognitive activity. That certification opens the same measurement to people with neurological conditions and to the clinics that treat them, with epilepsy as the first indication.

  • Regulatory pathEU MDR Class IIa, Rule 11(b). Quality system under ISO 13485 in progress. EU certification first, US filing on the resulting technical file.
  • Clinical partnersDeveloped with neurologists and researchers at SEIN, LUMC and Leiden University, and with patient organisation EpilepsieNL.
  • Regulatory contextThe EMA guideline on trials in epileptic disorders (Rev. 3, in force since September 2025) expects effects on cognition, sleep and reaction time to be studied.
  • Until certificationThe Axite App (NeuroJournal) and the Axite Platform are available for research use only. They are not CE marked and support no diagnostic or treatment claims.

Built on Leiden University research

Research-grade foundations. Real-world reach.

Our algorithms are trained on multimodal EEG recorded outside the lab, compared against a normative dataset of healthy participants, and developed with the scientists who published the underlying methods.

GDPR first

Data protection is designed into the product rather than bolted on. Your organisation retains ownership of its data, and participants can be pseudonymised at the source.

Hardware agnostic

Axite makes software. Muse and BrainBit headsets are supported today and more consumer-grade headsets can be added, so studies are never tied to one manufacturer.

Open outputs

Raw EEG in EDF, scores and metadata in CSV, a BIDS-compatible structure and API access. Your analysis stays in your own tools.
