Research and validation

The science behind our method, and the evidence we are building for it.

Axite is a spin-off from Leiden University. Our method comes from peer-reviewed work by co-founder Ruchella Kock and scientific advisor Dr. Arko Ghosh.

Scientific rationale

Why phone taps make home EEG measurable.

  1. 01

    No task at home

    Event-related potentials need a precisely timed event. In a lab, a task provides it. At home, nothing does.

  2. 02

    Every tap is an event

    A phone tap is a precisely timed action. Aligning EEG to taps yields thousands of trials a week.

  3. 03

    A multimodal picture

    Event-related potentials, brain rhythms and ERD/ERS together describe attention and cognitive load.

  4. 04

    Why epilepsy

    Over 40% of people with epilepsy have cognitive impairment, judged today from what patients recall.

Validation of the Axite App (NeuroJournal)

Testing the method on consumer-grade hardware, at home.

We publish results here as they become available.

Noise and artefact detection

Complete. Home recordings with everyday noise are cleaned reliably enough to score. Watch the demo

Test-retest reliability

Complete. Stability of attention and cognitive load scores across sessions. Results to be published here.

Agreement with lab EEG

Analysis in progress. Tap-locked ERPs from a consumer headset compared with research-grade EEG.

Adherence at home

Analysis in progress. Session completion and signal quality across 700 recordings.

Endpoint sample size

In preparation. Score reliability compared with trial questionnaires, and what it means for sample size.

Ongoing studies

A Leiden University study in epilepsy with a healthy-participant arm, and the four-year RELIANCE consortium.
