I’ve worked with stroke patients, migraine sufferers, biofeedback systems, and medical devices across five continents and I’ve seen how often neurotech focuses on the condition, but not the person living with it. What drew me to Anthriq was how integrated their thinking is. The signal quality is solid, yes, but more importantly, the system is built to adapt — to clinicians, researchers, educators, even young adults exploring their mental landscape. Their EEG headset, Instinct, takes under 10 minutes to set up, doesn’t need expert supervision, and is accessible enough to be used by patients, caregivers, or students alike.

As a founder building a neuro device for ADHD, I’ve run into all the usual headaches: unreliable signals, rigid hardware, and a system that falls apart when a 10-year-old wears it for more than 15 minutes. What stood out to me about Anthriq was how modular and developer-minded the system is. Most EEG platforms are locked down. Anthriq's modular approach gives teams like ours, the flexibility to design, test and deploy products faster than ever.

FAQs
Instinct is well suited for applied neuroscience and BCI research. This includes motor imagery, cognitive workload and attention studies, neurofeedback, closed-loop experiments, and real-world human–machine interaction research where portability and consistent signal quality matter.
Instinct provides access to raw EEG data with configurable acquisition and processing parameters through its SDKs, allowing researchers to customize pipelines, experiment with paradigms, and integrate Instinct into bespoke systems without predefined workflow constraints.
