Do whe have to wait for PiEEG as long as we had to wait for the Raspberry Pi 5 – until we are no longer interested in it? – PETER GAMMA (Director & Physiologist), MEDITATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE SWITZERLAND (MRIS)

On the PiEEG site it says PiEEG «is the result of several years of work on the development of BCI. We want to provide an easy way to get started with biosignals to use a shield.»

BCI is PiEEG

Also what Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org writes here is the result of several years of work of reviewing BCI’s, or on other words of reviewing low-cost high-quality physiological sensor devices.

As HackEEG also PiEEG seemed to be designed especially for us.
Has someone (from the electronic engineering lab of Texas Instrument?) ported HackEEG from the Arduino Due to the Raspberry Pi and made a demo which Ildar Rakhmatulin can then present? Ildar who is experienced with Raspberry Pi’s for killing moscitoes?

As reported previously, PiEEG was «Live on Crowd Supply!» on Jan 11, 2023

We expected that PiEEG was sold afterwards. But nothing happened in this direction.
It was announced for November 2023 for PiEEG with 4 channels.
And it was announced for April 2024 for PiEEG with 8 channels.
But why so late? Because of Corona? But Corona is over since a long time, at least in Switzerland.
Our thought about the release date of PiEEG was, that someone did a marketing study about it.
If for instance someone from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich picks up PiEEG, tests it and writes Nature papers with it, would this not be the end of OpenBCI Cyton, since everybody would buy PiEEG, but not Cyton anymore?
So the market analyst decided to release PiEEG as late as possible to be able to sell OpenBCI Cyton at www.OpenBCI.com as long as possible?
But we do not know someone from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich who has any plans to invest time in PiEEG.
And www.petergamma.org will not do this either, since we are not electronics engineers which eventually would be required to make a such a project a success.
But still PiEEG was on the market for a view month, as the Raspberry Pi 5 is now. But we have lost our interest for the time being, since we are not software and hardware debuggers, or students who do such things for fun and in their spare time, or as their diploma or PhD. thesis project.
But we still think PiEEG could be a great successor to OpenBCI Cyton, if someone which has no conflict of interest tests it, and writes a paper about it. But no one has done this to this date. And how big is the effort it requires?

So at least someone could attach OpenBCI GUI to PiEEG and make a new YouTube video demo about it, and bring it onto the market again, so that the successor of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org can make out of it a product which is successful one day.
