Developing an Operating System for Neurofeedback Applications

Neuromore develops the first OS to build neurofeedback applications improving mental health, wellbeing, and brain functions.

🚧 The Challenge

Brain Training for Mental Health and Wellbeing

Neuromore set out to revolutionize how we approach mental health by building an operating system for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs)—aimed at supporting conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and epilepsy. While neurofeedback has been used clinically for decades, it remains underutilized due to limited accessibility and technical complexity. Neuromore’s mission is to make this powerful, non-invasive, side-effect-free technique scalable and available to a broader audience.

The challenge was to build a flexible, white-label neurofeedback platform that can integrate with leading EEG hardware and adapt to the diverse needs of startups, clinicians, and researchers in the neurotech space.

💡 The Solution

As part of a small, hands-on development team, I helped implement the neuromore Studio at 4 B2B neurofeedback clinics and hardware companies. Neuromore Studio is a hardware-agnostic and open-source platform for building neurofeedback applications that work in real-time with various EEG devices.

Key components:

  • 🧠 Real-Time Brain State Detection: Software analyzes incoming EEG signals to detect states like calm, focus, or distraction.
  • 📽️ Adaptive Media Feedback: Based on brain state, media elements (video, music, games) are adjusted—rewarding desired mental states by e.g. making a video clearer or speeding up a game.
  • 🎛️ Visual Authoring Tool: A no-code interface allows clinicians, neurofeedback practitioners, developers and researchers to design and deploy their own neurofeedback protocols using drag-and-drop building blocks.
  • 🔌 Hardware Agnostic Integration: Supports various EEG headsets and sensors through SDKs and custom adapters.
  • 🧪 B2B Collaboration Workflow: We work closely with EEG manufacturers, biotech startups, and clinical researchers to deliver fast, custom neurofeedback solutions using neuromore Studio.

🚀 Business & Health Impact

Partner Network Growth: Neuromore now powers neurofeedback applications for 4 major players in the EEG industry, helping them bring next-gen tools to market.

Scalable Clinical Deployment: Clinicians and therapists can easily configure personalized training programs without writing code.

Consumer-Ready Technology: The platform makes it possible to deliver powerful brain training tools outside of lab settings—through games, music, or films.

🔧 Tech Stack

  • Core Engine: C++
  • Web App: React & Java Spring for Cloud Control
  • Hardware: Integration with EEG devices via native SDKs and OSC
  • Real-Time Signal Processing: Brainwave filtering, pattern recognition, and feedback loops

🧬 How Neurofeedback Works

Using a brain-computer interface (EEG headset), users engage with media (video, music, games) that responds to their mental state in real time. When the brain enters a desired state—calm, alert, focused—the media becomes more enjoyable (e.g., video sharpens, music gets louder, game speeds up). When focus drifts, the media becomes less engaging. Over time, this trains the brain to self-regulate and strengthen healthy patterns, like a gym for the mind—without medication or side effects.

🎯 Our Mission

Although neurofeedback has been proven effective over decades of clinical use, its benefits remain underutilized. Our goal with Neuromore is to bring evidence-based brain training to the mainstream, working at the intersection of neuroscience, mental health, and technology.

As a small boutique agency we work with leading EEG hardware companies, disruptive startups and visionary clinicians to develop neurofeedback applications, a technique through which patients condition their brain to be more calm, focused, and alert with lasting effects.

As part of the team we work hand in hand with neuromore's B2B partners, understand and translate their needs, and oversee the engineering to deliver fast solutions.

Neuromore is now successfully working with 4 major partners in the industry while simultaneously developing their own product, the neuromore Studio.
