Since years, we observe skilled students using the Mind Monitor and the Muse headband to do all kind of things. Since years we observed skilled students using OpenBCI to do all kind of things. Since years, we observed skilled computer scientists and electro engineers doing all kind of things with sensors and InfluxDB. That’s one small step for skilled computer scientists and electro engineers, and one giant step for non-coders like us. Maybe the step is big for non-coders like us. But examples with the Apple watch and InfluxDB are much more interesting for us personally, than soldering the OpenBCI WIFI shield and test it, which no one seems to solder and test anymore. And the community of for instance Home Assistant and GITHUB developers is alive. But where is the community of developers of traditional physiological sensor devices? Are these not communities which are slowly dying?
