Are there others guys from India than Pantech solutions which can afford products from www.openbci.com?
Do you know such? Write it in the comments below. For all others, but also for the Swiss who are on a budget we invite you to build new alternatives. Molecular biologists from India find jobs in Switzerland:
Especially those who make good jokes about the Swiss. But also economists and mathematicians from Vietnam find jobs in Switzerland:
And Switzerland is a beautiful country, so that also Mantra singers from India such as Manish Vyas emigrate from India to Switzerland.
So if you are an final year engineering student from India who is interested in a job in Switzerland,
why do you not build a devices which is interesting for Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org and the Meditation Research Institute Switzerland (MRIS)?
There is also Meditation Research Institute at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama in India:
https://www.ahymsin.org/the-meditation-research-institute
But this institute in India seems currently not to be active anymore, but only the meditation research institute in Switzerland. (MRIS). So if you are a final year engineering student from India, why do you not develop devices for meditation researchers in India and Switzerland?
As for instance 3 channel ECG devices as gold standard for heart rate measurements:
Since smartwatches are only of limited use for those scientists. But 3 channel ECG devices are the best. We can build those from instance from this instruction:
The ADS1115 16-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter has 4 channels. So next to a 3 channel ECG device there is one channel left for a spirometer to measure respiration rate.
One of the most interesting devices for meditators come from iWorx. But these devices are still expensive for a home lab, and eventually also for many researchers in India.
Iworx has also a Headband with 5 Silver-Silver Chloride electrodes.
So why not to build an EEG headband from the ADS1115 16-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter has 4 channels as well which is similar to the iWorx EEG headband? And since ECG and respiration signals are slow compared to EEG signals, we eventually can combine ECG, respiration rate and EEG data into one device without too much effort which would require complicated InfluxDB software:
