Vibre works in the field of BCI or brain-computer interfaces and has developed innovative algorithms capable of analyzing people's mental state in real time . All using non-invasive, wireless and very light devices, in fact they are placed on the user's forehead. The goal is to monitor the metrics produced by the human mind as it performs particular operations. This data is then used to improve performance, for entertainment or decision marketing .
