Brain Electrophysiology Laboratory Company
Brain Electrophysiology Laboratory Company, LLC, branded BEL, is a Eugene, Oregon neuroscience technology company founded by Don Tucker in 2018. It develops high-density EEG instruments, wearable sleep recording and stimulation technology, source-imaging software and cloud research workflows. Products include BEL EEG System One, Geodesic Head Web, FLOW, SOURCERER and the Sleep WISP ecosystem. Its NEAT neural-network software automatically scores EEG sleep stages and received FDA 510(k) clearance under K250058 on April 10, 2025. The current company description identifies Don Tucker as founder and CEO and Phan Luu as Chief Science Officer; the April 2025 FDA clearance identifies Roman Shusterman as CTO. BEL's public research-assistant directory names five students, with biographies referencing the 2024–2025 academic period; their current employment has not been independently confirmed. BEL is a distinct affiliate of Neurosom under common control and licenses technologies to Neurosom in exchange for royalties and non-cash equity. Federal records identify BEL, rather than Neurosom, as the recipient of NIH SBIR awards for electrical neuromodulation, epilepsy surgical planning and sleep therapy for mild cognitive impairment. BEL also announced approximately $1.3 million of support within a larger $4.3 million Department of Defense sleep research project in November 2021. These research awards do not establish a private venture financing round.
