1. We can start to buy OpenBCI modules starting from 230 USD on Aliexpress. Known issues are for instance warranty problems, and the lack of the availability of a shop which sells reliably an issue free WIFI shield, in which we can trust.
2. We have OpenBCI modules from www.OpenBCI.com. The issues of these modules where discussed by Robert Oostenveld on his blog, a very professional discussion about this topic.
3. Then, we have Neurocity Crown, a device with 8 EEG channel and WIFI, but no connectors for EEG headbands and EEG caps.
4. Another device optimized by sellers is g.tec medical unicorn black. Optimized is their web page optimized by web designers to look good. Are these the same that optimized the web page of Neurosity to look good? The web pages look similar to each other. But for g.tec medical Python API, we have to pay 400 USD extra, and the unicorn black offers us only BLE connection.
5. The only option which we currently know for EEG devices with WIFI is the g.tec medical device for 50 000 USD. A device which costs that much must have WIFI. And a device which costs that much should also offer noise and motion artifact free EEG, as Adinstruments Equital does, but the g.tec medical device does not offer this option. Is this also optimized by seller so that we have to buy the Adinstruments Equivital for this purpose? But we won t buy the Equital, for the reasons we have discussed in this journal.
6. Other EEG devices which offer WIFI we do not know, since they where not interesting for us personally.
7. Cody Rall, M.D.Founder of Techforpsych tested most personal EEG devices on the market. He shows us a demo where he troughs some of them in the trash.

9. The MEDITATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE SWITZERLAND (MRIS) reviewed many EEG devices starting from 230 USD to 50 000 USD, but it was not worth for us personally to even test those. The only device which we tested was the Muse 2 and the Muse S with the Mind Monitor. We can confirm that these devices are working.
10. If we where allowed to follow our nature, we would follow the example of Cody Rall, M.D. Founder of Techforpsych, and throw away many of those. But we own only Muse EEG devices, and do not have a YouTube channel either, so we can t do what Cody did.
