Is one Pi with Pi EEG 16 better than two Pi’s with two 8 channel EEG’s for 16 channels ? not urgently – PETER GAMMA (Director & Physiologist), MEDITATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE SWITZERLAND (MRIS)

Does a Greentek sleep cap make sense with PiEEG 8 channels?:

Best low-cost high-quality sleep tracker of the year 2024: Greentek Sleep EEG cap & OpenBCI 16 & Python sleep software ?

Is not Robert Oostenvelds Nike headband enough for this purpose?:

The Nike EEG headband

But if we want to dump OpenBCI in the year 2024, we need as a consequence Pi EEG 16 immediately. PiEEG 16 has been announced:

But we only believe this when it is available at Elecrow.
But to get 16 channels, we can have this also with 2x PiEEG 8 channels on 2x Pi’s.
The channels have to be sampled at exactly the same time:

If we have 2 Pi’s, can we then not read out the EEG data faster?
With PiEEG 16 we have to use daisy chain algorithms and read out one TI ADS1299 EEG chip after the other.
With two Pi’s we can sample the EEG data at exactly the same time on the two different Pis.
And then later on we can join the sensor data in one database.
PiEEG 16 would only be better is someone codes the software and is available.
But who offers this software?
We had in the past 32 EEG channels based on Front-End Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) ADS1299EEG-FE, but this was only a demo paper on researchgate.net:
