Heliyon

Heliyon is a monthly peer-reviewed mega journal covering research in all areas of science, the social sciences and humanities, and the arts. It was established in 2015 and is published by Cell Press.

Reference device for OpenBCI ECG

was an expensive 3 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) from Adinstruments with an Adinstruments BioAmp Amplifier.

• None of these papers are at the level of a clinical study

• According to our own little experience, Bitalino has no support anymore

• William Croft supports OpenBCI products at OpenBCI

• Several OpenBCI products can also be bought on Aliexpress, if we don t need support

• These low-cost products have the potential to be used as high quality devices, if they proof they are high quality, and if they are further validated
