As this review of Coady Rall, MD shows:

Devices like the Muse headband attract also people who use this device for scientific purposes, as for instance myndlift:

But the Muse headband is only of limited use for such purposes. It only offers Bluetooth transmission, and Interaxon has pulled the Muse SDK from the market:

https://github.com/sccn/labstreaminglayer/issues/30

As a result of this people like Flavio Frohlich have only options such as LabStreamingLayer (LSL) to get data from the Muse headband.

But LSL streaming of the Muse is based on reverse engineering:

and has issues, as the example of Flavio Frohlich show here:

https://github.com/alexandrebarachant/muse-lsl/issues/140

And we can see that the issues Flavio Frohlich had with the Raspberry Pi 4, LSL and Muse could not be resolved. PiEEG would be an alternative to the Muse headband which resolves this issue.

But for this purpose PiEEG needs to be available, which is currently not the case:

Therefore, Ildar Rakhmatulin, bring PiEEG back!
