  • In this note we show how the consistent truncations on half-supersymmetric branes of Leung and Stelle and Lin, Skrzypek and Stelle fit into the general exceptional generalised geometry analysis of Cassani \emph{et al.}. Each solution defines a torsion-free $Spin(n)$ structure in the $Spin(n,n)\times \mathbb{R}^+$ generalised geometry introduced by Strickland--Constable, where $n$ is the dimension of the space transverse to the brane. Embedding this into the appropriate exceptional generalised geometry then defines the truncation. As a by-product we derive a new consistent truncation on the IIA NS5-brane to six-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ supergravity coupled to a tensor mutliplet, and new consistent truncations on the D6- and D7-branes to seven- and eight-dimensional pure half-maximal supergravity respectively.
