Researchers have developed a new method to calculate the difference between a person’s chronological age and brain age. This machine-learning model uses EMOTIV EPOC X headsets to measure the electrical activity during a brain’s resting state (awake but without a task to perform) and compares it to statistical data among healthy adults.

Kounios et al. (2024) trained the algorithm with EPOC X brain data gathered from a collection of in-person and remote online participants, as well as supplemental training datasets. In total, the study used five combined datasets. Click here to read the full article.
