Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org
has criticized a lot the Neurosity Crown. But as a consequence, the device has not become better. Instead Dr. Cody Rall makes new videos to promote the device:
And it s price has increased from 1 000 USD to 1 500 USD. Are the people responsible for this the Texas Instruments supporters in the EEVBLOG?:
And Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org has reviewed for several years about affordable alternatives to products from www.openbci.com. But what happened? HackEEG, PiEEG and OpenBCI made in China where launched. All of these EEG products hardly anyone seems to use. The situation is even worse. There is no convincing proof of function of HackEEG, PiEEG and OpenBCI made in China. All of these products seem to have issues which are not resolved. With again and again the same result, that there is no alternative to products from www.openbci.com com?
This can t be true. Why do developers at the university level hardly use products from www.openbci.com? Is this because InfluxDB has been released 10 years ago? And products based on this new architecture have been strongly developed over the last 10 years? With the result, that even hobbyists like Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org eventually will join the professionals in this discipline, because he is simply fed up from the developments of EEG product sellers which are eventually violators of competition laws in the US, EU, UK, China, Canada & Switzerland.
We have observed similar phenomenon with smartwatches, for instance as far as smartwatch accuracy validation is concerned:
Is this another violation of competition laws in the US, EU, UK, China, Canada & Switzerland concerning smartwatches? Smartwatch accuracy tests have not become better. No better scientific papers with better reference equipment has been published. And has only the manipulation become better, when a postdoctoral scientist such as Rob ter Hort from Vienna want to make us believe he has testing methods which allow to objectively compare the accuracy of one smartwatch to another?
Do EEG product sellers and smartwatch product sellers know each other? And the market is saturated? Did they agree not to compete with each other? Some silent agreement about only to have one scientist, which is Rob ter Horst which does all the scientific smartwatch accuracy tests?
If all of this is true, is it not about time to let go of smartwatches for smart scientists and let go of products based on the ADS1299 EEG chip from Texas Instruments? And to look for other products such as 3 channel gold standard ECG devices and EEG devices based on TGAM modules and InfluxDB, also in the low-cost segment?
