Sleep research beyond the lab.
HomeLab is an end-to-end software platform for at-home sleep studies, built on our Ikon Sleep hardware. Participants record autonomously at home, while researchers monitor study progress remotely and receive automated sleep metrics and raw data from every recording.

Hardware
Ikon Sleep is an EEG headband with integrated PPG and IMU sensors. It includes two prefrontal EEG channels and is designed to be used autonomously at home by participants.
Obtain clinical-grade data acquisition with disposable pre-gelled sensors, 24-bit acquisition, active shielding and optimized DRL.
Hardware designed in accordance with ISO 13485

Two prefrontal EEG channels at AF7 and AF8, with reference and ground on the mastoids
Software
The HomeLab software platform has three modules that function as one workflow: HomeRecorder for the participant, and Cloud Manager & Metrics and Desktop Downloader for the researcher.
At the participant's home
Our HomeRecorder app guides participants through the set-up and helps them troubleshoot in real time, so every recording starts with proper signal quality.
At the researcher's lab
Cloud Manager & Metrics is a web portal for researchers to manage studies, monitor progress remotely and view sleep metrics.
Get standardized metrics for every night and every participant, with a signal quality report for each recording.
Automated sleep staging
Desktop Downloader is a Windows app to export, download and review your data.
Receive metrics and raw signal in open formats, ready for your own analysis pipelines.
Evidence
Our automated sleep staging algorithm is validated against simultaneous clinical polysomnography on 128 nights from 100 participants: 86.71 % agreement with the consensus of three independent sleep experts, against 87.13 % for the polysomnography signal scored by the same experts.

The full study dataset, with the simultaneous PSG and Ikon Sleep recordings from these 128 nights, is published open access as the Bitbrain Open Access Sleep (BOAS) dataset.
Explore the datasetOver 4,500 nights have been recorded with our Ikon Sleep technology in over 350 participants, including healthy adults, healthy elderly adults and populations with mild cognitive impairment, with a 95 % success rate.
Portable technology and remote monitoring.
Habitual sleep over weeks or months.
Neuroscience, cognition, performance.
Awake EEG protocols are also supported. Contact us for the right set-up.
No. Participants place the band themselves, guided step by step by HomeRecorder, which validates signal quality in real time and helps them troubleshoot any issues before recording starts. If the signal quality is not sufficient, the recording does not start, so participants do not record unusable nights.
A Windows or Android device running our HomeRecorder app, and an internet connection to send data.
There is no limit per participant. Studies can run single nights, consecutive nights or repeated blocks over weeks or months.
Yes. Studies are configured centrally, so several sites and cohorts can run the same protocol and return comparable outputs.
No. HomeLab and Ikon Sleep are for research use. The hardware is designed in accordance with ISO 13485.
In a secure cloud environment, managed in line with European data protection regulation. Raw data and metrics can also be downloaded and saved locally.
