Why has HackEEG not been successful to this date – because it was only a demo? – PETER GAMMA (Director & Physiologist), MEDITATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE SWITZERLAND (MRIS)

At about the same time when OpenBCI made in China appeared on Aliexpress and eBay, Adam Feuers HackEEG came onto the market. It seemed as it was especially designed for us (by Texas Instruments?)
We then reviewed HackEEG, for instance that we miss a setup with 32 channels. Then Adam Feuer published new demos with four HackEEGs and how to connect those to each other.
HackEEG is based on Arduino Duo. But www.petergamma.org does not even have a single Raspberry pi which works and we use on a regular basis. So how should we get Arduino Duos to work, if we did not even manage to get our NextCloudPi setup to work to this date:

Next to the Arduino Duo HackEEG with 32 channel requires also daisy chain algorithms to read out the EEG data, as Indonesian scientists did it previously with The ADS1299 Performance Demonstration Kit from Texas instruments and published papers about on www.reserachgate.net.
But which physiologists develop daisy chain algorithms for Hack? Eventually the developers of g.tec medical developed daisy chain algorithms for their g.tec medical products, wo do this since 20 years, to precisely since 1999, and sell now their 32 channel EEG devices for up to 50 000 USD.
Who develops now HackEEG further to a product which has been tested and works and is on the market? Not www.petergamma.org.
