SEVO: EEG for Coarse, Curly Hair

What is Sevo?

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a brain-sensing technology used to diagnose and monitor seizures in epilepsy as well as stroke, brain injuries, and sleep disorders. 

We created Sevo, the first-of-its-kind EEG adapter, which helps EEG work on people with coarse, curly, dense, and afro-textured hair.

Traditional EEG does not maintain good scalp contact on this hair type leading to misdiagnosis, discomfort, and sometimes the need to shave off the hair.

Sevo is proven to improve EEG readings by more than 15x based on laboratory signal quality testing and hospital testing on pediatric epilepsy patients.

Explore the immersive story of Sevo through this video to discover the essence of our solutions and the meticulous craftsmanship woven into each product! Dive into the intricate details of Sevo’s evolution, uncovering the technological milestones and visionary inspiration that fuel our passion for crafting exceptional EEG accessories.

By prioritizing diverse user needs, we showcase the transformative power of inclusive design in EEG technology, ensuring that every individual can benefit from our innovative solutions.

How it works

1. The hair is braided to expose the scalp — this alone improves the EEG signal quality (impedance) by 2x!

2. Sevo adapters are installed in the hair, using the strength of coarse hair to maintain scalp contact.
