EEG and cameras: why Oraigo measures the brain
EEG reads the brain’s signals, where fatigue begins. Cameras watch the face, where tiredness only shows up later. That is why Oraigo chose EEG.
What EEG measures
EEG (electroencephalography) measures the brain’s electrical activity: the most direct indicator of alertness. Fatigue begins in the brain before it becomes visible: measuring it at the source makes it possible to anticipate it, not chase it. It is the same principle studied in sleep laboratories, brought to the road in a light band you wear.
EEG and cameras compared
Three concrete advantages of measuring at the source over watching the face.
Four concrete advantages
Lead time, reliability, privacy and acceptance: this is what changes when you measure the brain instead of the face.
Advance warning: on average 13 minutes
By reading the brain’s signal, Oraigo warns while the driver can still stop safely, not when drowsiness is already on the face and the margin has shrunk.
Reliable in every condition
The measurement does not depend on light, sunglasses or head position. It works day and night, on any route, with no variation tied to the surrounding environment.
No video, no surveillance
Oraigo uses no cameras and records no video. It is a strong point both with drivers and with those who manage the fleet.
Acceptance by drivers
A solution that does not film is easier to accept: Aigo is seen as a tool for one’s own safety, not an eye trained on you.
No cameras. No video. Ever.
Oraigo measures only the brain’s electrical signals through the Aigo band. The driver’s privacy is protected by design.
Oraigo's EEG technology
Our EEG technology is patented and has been validated on over 100,000 minutes of real driving, through an internal study.
Aigo is not a medical device: it is a safety system for preventing microsleep. Measuring the signal at the source, instead of interpreting outward signs, is what makes it possible to warn in advance, while there is still time.
