We are excited to announce our participation in the upcoming IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (EMBC 2025) taking place July 14–17, 2025. EMBC is the premier international forum for presenting and discussing research in biomedical engineering, offering a unique platform for sharing cutting-edge work and fostering global collaborations.
This year, we are proud to present six research papers:
S. L. Kappel et al., Temporal Synchronization of Multimodal Hyperscanning Recordings: Challenges, Methodologies, and Best Practices [link]
N. Banluesombatkul et al., Sleep Analysis Using Longitudinal Ear-EEG Recordings [link]
P. Lebiecka-Johansen et al., Benefits of Different Strategies to Adapt Sleep Scoring Models from Scalp- to Ear-EEG [link]
B. Gaardbaek et al., Hearable Heart Beats: Recording the Heart Rate from the Ear [link]
J. Strøm et al., Model Complexity in Sleep Staging: Exploring the Effect of Depth and Complexity Factor in the U-Sleep Model [link]
Olsen et al., EEG data alignment across devices using a neural network [link]
Please note that all papers are subject to IEEE copyright.
In addition, we are organizing the following three minisymposia:
Ear-EEG: Advancing Wearable Brain Monitoring and Clinical Applications
Ear-Centered Sensing for Wearable Monitoring and Interaction
Towards Multimodal Sleep Monitoring to Support Diagnosis of Health Conditions
We look forward to connecting with fellow researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals at EMBC 2025!

Conference Paper about dry-contact EEG electrodes. The paper was presented as an oral presentation at EMBC 2022 in Glasgow by Simon Kappel.
As a part of the Sleep-in-Orbit project, we have just received the first ear-EEG recordings from the international space station (ISS). These are the first ear-EEG recordings ever made in space.
The objective of the Sleep-in-Orbit project is to investigate physiological differences between astronaut’s sleep in space and on Earth. The astronaut's sleep is measured before the mission to space, during the stay on the ISS, and again when the astronaut is back on Earth.
The first astronaut in the study is ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen, who arrived at the ISS on 27th August 2023. After a short acclimatization period, he has now started recording, and we have received the first two nights of recordings. We are very excited that the first data has shown to be of good quality, and we are looking forward to diving into the sleep analysis.
Andreas Mogensen will stay at the ISS for six months. During this period, he will record up to 20 nights of ear-EEG data.

The Sleep-in-Orbit experiment is a part of Andreas Mogensen’s second mission to the ISS. Read more about the mission [here]
The Sleep-in-Orbit project is funded through the Center for Ear-EEG by T&W Engineering, William Demant Foundation, and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Aarhus University. Moreover, the integration of the project into the ISS program has been supported by the European Space Agency (ESA). We deeply appreciate this support, without which the project would not have been possible.

Conference Paper about detection of ASSR in ear-EEG. The paper was presented as an oral presentation at EMBC 2022 in Glasgow by Anna Sergeeva.
Using state-of-the-art deep learning for analysing ear-EEG, our newest paper shows both further increases in mobile sleep scoring performance, and that mobile sleep scoring is possible for a large number of different electrode positions. Published in IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering.
