Nouscope

A real-time neuro-instrument for watching the brain listen. Nouscope streams EEG, heart, and motion data from a consumer headset and paints the signal as it arrives — while analyzing how neural rhythms entrain to the music you play.

What It Measures

Every color is a channel.

Nouscope's palette isn't decoration — each hue is an identity, carried consistently between the live trace, its legend, and its numeric readout. Heat and intensity are always mapped through viridis.

EEG Electrodes
Four raw voltage traces from the temporal and frontal sensors.
TP9AF7AF8TP10
Frequency Bands
Relative power in the classic bands, cool to warm with rising frequency.
δθαβγ
Spectrograms
Full-spectrum, slow-wave (0.5–8 Hz), and audio-tempo heatmaps, viridis-mapped.
Complexity (MSE)
Multiscale entropy across five time scales — a window on signal richness.
τ=1τ=9
Heart & Motion
PPG pulse waveform and heart rate; six-axis head motion.
PPGAG
Entrainment
A live index of how strongly neural rhythms lock to the audio you're playing.
A Session
01
Connect a headset

Open Nouscope in the browser and pair your EEG headset. The full-screen data view appears the moment signal arrives.

02
Play something

Add a local audio track or use the mic. Nouscope analyzes the audio alongside the biosignal — tempo, texture, and how the brain follows it.

03
Watch, and record

Traces, spectrograms, band power, complexity, and entrainment update continuously. Record a session to keep the data.

Devices

Built for the hardware you have.

Nouscope launched on the Muse headset family — EEG, PPG, and motion in one consumer device. Support for BrainFlow is in progress, which will open the instrument to a broad range of research and consumer EEG systems through one common interface.
