The 16 / 32 Channel EEG Ads1299 EEG Acquisition Modules are affordable:

researchers managed to run a similar setup with the OpenBCI GUI software application:

but I could not find any publications which uses the 16 / 32 Channel EEG Ads1299 EEG Acquisition Modules.
An alternative is the
ADS1299 Performance Demonstration Kit from Texas instruments:

The ADS1299 Performance Demonstration Kit is affordable, has an easy-to-use evaluation software for Microsoft Windows, and it can be interfaced with MATLAB.

How to solve the “TI ADS1299 EEG demo kit is not save for humans” problem?:
What is missing is a setup which makes the ADS1299 Performance Demonstration Kit safe for humans. OpenBCI is safe for humans, but the ADS1299 Performance Demonstration Kit from Texas instruments is not safe for humans. But what about a purely battery powered ADS1299 Performance Demonstration Kit connected to a purely battery powered laptop and a disclaimer of liability? I suggest to solve this problem as it is solved by HackEEG, by a purely battery powered setup:
Comparison of an open-hardware electroencephalography amplifier withmedical grade device in brain-computer interface applications

The ADS1299 Kit contains the TI ADS1299 chip, therefore, the data of the following paper which compares the OpenBCI Cyton board to a medical grade g.tec device should also apply to the ADS1299 Kit:
Conclusion:
The researchers who tested the ADS1299 Performance Demonstration Kit from Texas Instruments did as far as I know not publish in the field of EEG devices recently, with the exeption of Sastra Kusuma Wijaya. I could also not find papers with the ADS1299 Performance Demonstration Kit which use the kit for physiology. If someone starts new, to use the 16 / 32 Channel EEG Ads1299 EEG Acquisition Modules might be easier. 32 channels integrated in to one board might be easier, but this has to be tested first. To test this is easier for a computer scientist or a physicist than for a physiologist. The question is also open, whether it is possible to integrate multiple sensor boards with InfluxDB, and whether this approach is easier to handle than a daisy chain setup.

The code which was used by the Indonesian group who tested the TI boards is as far as I know not published. Maybe it is possible to get the code from the research group? William Croft from OpenBCI stated that the TI board is not save for humans. Instructions how to make it save for humans can be found here:
