Brain monitoring is becoming ever more essential in the increasing incidence and prevalence of neurologicaldisorders, rising awareness of neurodegenerative diseases, growth in the number of traumatic brain injuries,and increasing applications of brain monitoring in clinical trials. Interaxon, a Canadian-based company hasdeveloped Muse, which is a brain-sensing wearable EEG technology, which allows the users to get real-timeand post-session metrics on their brain activity while sleeping, and their mindfulness, and meditation practicethrough a mobile application. Interaxon seeks to create a neuroscience research application to explore visuallyevoked ERP (Event Related Potential) brain responses in virtual reality integrated into its existing application.The current project will consider different VR content and interactions as potential event stimuli for measuringcognitive performance via brain evoked potentials. Success of this project will demonstrate a capability thatthe MuseVR solution can be used within VR applications to measure cognitive performance in a naturalgaming environment. Once confirmed, this capability sets the foundation for the development of product /applications for digital therapeutics related to brain health. Interaxon anticipates releasing the MuseVRhardware offering in Q4 2021, with an updated SDK that includes accurate stimulus time synchronizationcapabilities. This will enable them to enter a new market, grow their client base and hence grow their revenues.

随着神经系统疾病的发病率和患病率的增加、对神经退行性疾病的认识的提高、创伤性脑损伤的数量的增加以及脑监测在临床试验中的应用的增加，脑监测变得越来越重要。总部位于加拿大的Interaxon公司开发了Muse，这是一种大脑感应可穿戴脑电图技术，用户可以通过移动应用程序获得睡眠时大脑活动的实时和会后指标，以及他们的正念和冥想练习。Interaxon寻求创建一个神经科学研究应用程序，以探索虚拟现实中视觉触发的ERP（事件相关电位）大脑反应，并将其集成到现有的应用程序中。目前的项目将考虑不同的VR内容和互动作为潜在的事件刺激，通过脑诱发电位来测量认知表现。这个项目的成功将证明MuseVR解决方案可以在VR应用程序中用于测量自然算法环境中的认知表现。一旦得到确认，这一能力将为开发与大脑健康相关的数字治疗产品/应用奠定基础。Interaxon预计将在2021年第四季度发布musevr硬件产品，并提供更新的SDK，包括精确的刺激时间同步功能。这将使他们进入一个新的市场，扩大他们的客户群，从而增加他们的收入。
