Easycap product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Easycap designs and manufactures research-grade EEG recording caps, electrodes, sensors, and electrolyte gels for behavioural neuroscience laboratories. Its core offering is a modular portfolio of multichannel (8–160 channel) EEG caps — including actiCAP, BrainCap, BrainCap MR, LiveAmp Cap, and R-Net families — engineered to be compatible with major commercial amplifiers (BrainAmp, actiCHamp, actiCHamp Plus, LiveAmp, BrainAmp MR), complemented by custom cap, connector, and cable solutions for niche research setups.
Product overview
Easycap GmbH offers a unified but modular catalogue of research-grade scalp EEG equipment rather than a single product: at the core is a portfolio of EEG caps (the actiCAP snap/slim, BrainCap, BrainCap MR/MR3, BrainCap TMS, BrainCap MEG, BrainCap for Sleep, LiveAmp Cap, and R-Net families), each engineered for specific amplifier ecosystems such as Brain Products' BrainAmp, actiCHamp, actiCHamp Plus, LiveAmp, and BrainAmp MR. These cap families are complemented by Electrodes and Sensors, Gel and Consumables (including the EDALYT GSR/EDA electrolyte), an Animal EEG line for NHP research, and a Custom solutions service for bespoke caps, connectors, adapters, trigger cables, Ag/AgCl electrodes, and combined-modality setups (TMS-EEG, Sleep-EEG, fNIRS-EEG, MEG-EEG). Easycap also publishes a Cap layout download library providing PDF and .bvf layout files for each Catalogue Number, and offers a dedicated Carbon Wire Loops (CWL) accessory for the BrainCap MR to handle EEG-fMRI artifacts, positioning its overall portfolio as a tightly integrated hardware ecosystem serving behavioural neuroscience laboratories worldwide.

Easycap competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- EMOTIV: EMOTIV is a US-based EEG hardware and BCI company selling consumer and research-grade headsets. It is an Easycap OEM partner, but also a partial competitor addressing the prosumer and applied-neuroscience segment with a different (dry-electrode, wireless) technology profile.
- OpenBCI: OpenBCI is an open-source EEG and biosensing hardware company serving the research, education, and maker communities. It targets overlapping academic and applied-neuroscience customers as Easycap, but with a lower-cost, modular, open-source approach rather than a premium research-grade cap portfolio.
Direct peers
- Brain Products: Brain Products is a leading German EEG amplifier manufacturer and Easycap's flagship OEM/industrial partner. While it integrates Easycap caps into its systems, it also offers its own cap solutions (e.g., actiCAP), making it both a partner and a direct competitor in EEG caps for research labs.
- Wearable Sensing: Wearable Sensing produces dry-electrode EEG headsets and head-mounted systems for research and applied neuroscience. It targets a similar research customer base with an alternative electrode technology, making it a direct peer in the EEG cap market for academic and applied labs.
- g.tec medical engineering: g.tec is an Austrian manufacturer of EEG, BCI, and brain-stimulation hardware, including EEG caps and high-channel systems. It serves the same academic and clinical-research neuroscience market as Easycap and competes on integrated EEG cap and amplifier solutions.
- NIRx Medical Technologies: NIRx manufactures fNIRS-EEG combined imaging systems for neuroscience research and is an Easycap partner. It is comparable as a hardware vendor selling integrated cap-based multimodal recording solutions into the same research-lab customer base.
- ANT Neuro: ANT Neuro is a Netherlands-based manufacturer of EEG caps, amplifiers, and integrated neuroscience research systems. It is the closest direct competitor to Easycap, offering a comparable research-grade EEG cap portfolio alongside its own amplifiers — making it the most analogous peer in product, customer base, and end market.
- mBrainTrain: mBrainTrain is a Serbian mobile/wearable EEG hardware maker, listed as an Easycap OEM partner. It produces lightweight EEG caps and amplifiers for mobile neuroscience research, overlapping with Easycap's LiveAmp and R-Net cap families in addressing the same research customers.
Broad incumbents
- Compumedics / Neuroscan: Compumedics (parent of Neuroscan) is an established Australian neurodiagnostic and sleep-monitoring hardware maker with broad EEG cap and amplifier offerings. It is a broad incumbent in the same research and clinical-adjacent EEG space, with a much larger product portfolio than Easycap.
- Nihon Kohden: Nihon Kohden is a large Japanese medical-electronics company with a broad EEG, EMG, and patient-monitoring portfolio including research-grade EEG systems. It is a broad incumbent in the same end market (neuroscience and neurodiagnostics) and competes with Easycap-adjacent OEM channels.
