Why did iWorx take over Scott W. Harden, DMD, PhD. ECG device but not OpenBCI as a A Novel OpenBCI Framework for EEG-Based Neurophysiological Experiments? – PETER GAMMA (Director & Physiologist), MEDITATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE SWITZERLAND (MRIS)

Neuroscient Scott W. Harden worked over 10 years on his ECG device:

Until it was taken over by iWorx:

Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org has no proof for this, but he is convinced that the iWorx device shown in the above video uses the same AD8232 ECG chip as Scott Harden has used in his device. But why does iWorx not take over OpenBCI as a «A Novel OpenBCI Framework for EEG-Based Neurophysiological Experiments», which has been tested in the following paper:

Is this because Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org only wrote 376 posts on his journal about OpenBCI:

https://petergamma.org/tag/openbci/

And did not work on the hardware and software over 10 years in this OpenBCI device, as Scott Harden did work on his ECG device? Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org will not work 10 years on the developement of OpenBCI as a A Novel OpenBCI Framework for EEG-Based Neurophysiological Experiments. If Peter Gamma would do this, Peter who has currently no PhD. would not eventually someone offer him a Dr. h.c. – a doctor honoris causa if he would do all this work which is necessary for it? And if Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org would do this, would not the costs of this 16 channel device increase to 25 000 USD, to the same price as Conor Russomanno OpenBCI Galea costs, a device on which he worked over 10 years?

So why should Peter Gamma choose such a risky device as OpenBCI for his projects? Risky because if Peter Gamma would do this work, would not ADS1299 EEG chip product developers increase the price for their product to profit from Peter Gamma’s work? And Peter Gamma does not work for free for ADS1299 EEG chip product developers who work for Texas Instruments, so that Peter Gamma does the work, and the ADS1299 EEG chip product developers from Texas Instruments can profit from it. And if Peter Gamma would build his own device on a ADS1299 EEG chip product, would not Texas Instruments immediately clone it and sell it for 25 000 USD as well?
