  • Biosemi active two with 8 channels 10 000 USD ???
  • OpenBCI Galea 16 channels 25 000 USD ???
  • g.tec medical multi purpose 50 000 USD ??

Are these prices calculated by www.openbci.com, since they know that:

  • Russomano with Galea
  • Dr. Christoph Guger from g.ec
  • Neurospec in Stans Switzerland

have given up selling these devices, since they are outdated, and they don t want to sell their devices anymore, since they can t sell them anymore. And all of this let us conclude that a multi-channel EEG device is currently worth 200 USD on Aliexpress and not a cent more.
