Would not make a fusion of OpenBCI with NeuroKit2 make sense? For EEG devices, all channels have to be sampled at exactly the same time, since else some parameters such as phase, coherence cannot be calculated correctly. But how is it about slower signals such as ECG, spirometry, etc.? Is their timing not less critical and could be added separately to the 16 channels of OpenBCI, by adding Neurokit 2 to OpenBCI?

So would this not be in theory be an option to add the 5 physiological channels of Neurokit 2 to the 16 EEG channels to OpenBCI?
And furthermore to add a real-time database such as Home Assistant:
in Firebase has the following template:

For adding more physiological sensors. Since platforms as Home Assistant, Firebase, Neurokit2, etc seem to be developed further. But there seem to be not much life left in the development of traditional EEG devices up to 50 000 USD:
