Prevention of microsleep at the wheel
Prevention only works if it comes early. Microsleep lasts a few seconds, but that’s enough to lose control of the vehicle. Oraigo recognises the drop in alertness on average 13 minutes before, when the driver can still stop safely.
On average 13 min before*
The margin to stop safely, impossible with cameras or behavioural sensors.
*As reported in our white paper.
Brain signals
At the source, not the visible symptoms. The drop in alertness is caught in its early phase.
800+ potential accidents avoided
Real situations in which the driver was alerted in time to stop.
Why microsleep is so hard to prevent
It’s not a question of willpower: the brain gives way before the driver notices.
It comes with no perceived warning
Someone about to fall asleep often doesn’t realise they’re at risk: clarity fades before awareness.
It lasts a few seconds
A microsleep of a few moments, at motorway speed, means travelling tens of metres with no control of the vehicle.
Visible signs come late
By the time the head nods or the eyes close, the brain has already given way. A useful warning must come before that moment.
First the signal, then the symptom, then the event
Oraigo intercepts the drop at the source, where there’s still time to act.
Acting before microsleep
The system moves the intervention to before microsleep, acting on the signal that precedes it.
It measures the signal that precedes sleep
Aigo reads brain activity and recognises the drop in alertness in its early phase, not when it’s already full-blown.
It warns with a useful margin
Go flags the risk in time to stop: it’s the difference between a warning that saves and an alarm that comes too late.
Acting before the event, documented results
Anticipating microsleep avoids the accident, instead of limiting its damage.
Action before the event
Anticipating microsleep avoids the accident, instead of managing its consequences after it has happened.
Documented results in the field
In real use, timely warnings have helped avoid over 800 potential accidents. Verifiable data, not estimates.
It works in any condition
Unlike cameras, EEG doesn’t depend on light: it works at night, against the light and with sunglasses.
No camera on the driver
The system measures the brain, not the face. A respectful support for the driver, not surveillance.

Frequently asked questions
How much advance warning does the system give?
On average 13 minutes before microsleep, a margin sufficient to stop safely.
Does it work better than camera systems for microsleep prevention?
For prevention, what counts is being early: EEG catches the drop at the source, while cameras react once drowsiness is already visible.
Is it a medical device?
No. It’s a safety system for preventing microsleep at the wheel, with no diagnostic purpose.
