OpenBCI is the de facto standard for open-source BCI hardware and software, founded by Joel Murphy and Conor Russomanno after a successful Kickstarter campaign. The company releases all hardware schematics and firmware under open-source licenses, enabling a global community of researchers, developers, and students to build BCI applications. The OpenBCI ecosystem includes the Cyton biosensing board, Ultracortex headset, Galea (eye/face/EEG combined), and the OpenBCI GUI and BrainFlow SDK used across academic and industry applications.
