Description

The University of Edinburgh is intending to award a contract without prior publication for a mobile EEG system to Ant Neuro UK due to competition being absent for technical reasons.

The University of Edinburgh is intending to award a contract without prior publication for a mobile EEG system to Ant Neuro UK due to competition being absent for technical reasons.
1. High-Density EEG Capability (128 Channels Minimum)
· Minimum of 128 recording channels
· Uniform high-density scalp coverage
· Research-grade signal quality suitable for:
o Spatial filtering
o Source localisation
o Fine-grained analysis of cortical dynamics
· Stable impedance control across all electrodes
· Low-noise amplification appropriate for high-resolution modelling
2. Fully Mobile, Research-Grade System for Immersive VR
The research design includes naturalistic movement and immersive VR paradigms. The EEG system must therefore be:
· Fully mobile and wireless
· Lightweight and body-worn (e.g., backpack-mounted amplifier)
· Compatible with VR head-mounted displays (HMDs) without interfering with:
o Headset fit
o Participant comfort
o Range of motion
· Resistant to motion-induced artefacts
· Designed with low-profile electrodes and integrated wiring
· Mechanically stable during head and body movement
3. Precise Synchronisation with VR Systems
The system must support robust and low-latency synchronisation between EEG data and VR events. Required features include:
· Hardware-level synchronisation (e.g., TTL triggers)
· Network-based synchronisation (e.g., Lab Streaming Layer – LSL)
· Millisecond-level timing precision
· Reliable integration with VR software platforms
4. Medical-Grade Certification
Given the potential progression of this research toward clinical translation, the EEG system must:
· Hold valid medical CE certification
· Comply with applicable medical device regulatory standards
· Be suitable for future clinical research use without requiring hardware replacement
