For those who gave up the Muse headband & want to know what OpenBCI critic & Fieldtrip developer Robert Oostenveld did with OpenBCI – he developed an DIY EEG headband on EEGsynth 6 years ago

Four years ago, when Interaxon communicated that they stopped offering the Muse SDK , supporters on the LabstreamingLayer GITUB of the Swartz Center of Computational Neuroscience adviced to look for alternatives to the Muse after the end of the Muse SDK:

Since then Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org is looking for alternatives to the Muse headband.

Robert Oostenveld wrote on his blog about the issues of OpenBCI Cyton:

Improved touch-proof enclosure for OpenBCI

And Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org summarized what Robert Oostenveld wrote there here:

6 years ago Robert Oostenveld developed a DIY EEG headband on EEGsynth based on OpenBCI Cyton:

• Robert Oostenveld who says on his blog that he uses now OpenBCI Ganglion and the Unicorn Hybrid Black by g.tec medical instead of OpenBCI Cyton.

• But is Robert Oostenveld an independent reviewer such as Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org?
• Or is is Robert Oostenveld entangeled with g.tec medical?
• Did he receive devices for free from g.tec medical to review those on his blog in exchange for a review?

• But independent reviewer Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org:

But independent consultant Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org (MRIS):

is not happy with all of these devices mentioned here by Robert Oostenveld, and will choose this architecture as soon as possible:
