• We are trying to optimize costs especially for EEG devices, But if we try to do this in the EEVBLOG, problems appeared.

• Do EEVBLOG posters and moderators have the goal to keep costs high for EEG devices?

• There is a paper which studies the brain waves on a treadmill and compared brain waves during forward walking versus backward walking.

Paper for Walking Meditation Studies: Backward Walking Induces Significantly Larger Upper-Mu-Rhythm Suppression Effects Than Forward Walking Does

• The authors used the Texas Instruments ADS1299 EEG Front-End Performance Demonstration Kit (TI-ADS1299EEG-FE) to measure EEG signals. We started to discuss this kit in the EEVBLOG.

• OpenBCI Cyton is 999 USD from OpenBCI USA

• the TI Kit is a bit more than 200 USD.

• Both devices have 8 channels.

• Unfortunately, the discussion was not open about this TI demo board in the EEVBLOG.

• Posters posted “we have to give you up”

• A moderator of the EEVBLOG wrote to me, I should ask myself if I am at the right place in the EEVBLOG

If the EEVBLOG is a blog with the goal to keep costs high for EEG devices, then the EEVBLOG is the wrong place for us. We are trying to optimize costs especially for EEG devices. But if we are doing this in the EEVBLOG problems appear. If you are looking for low-cost high quality EEG devices, we found cheaper devices than from OpenBCI USA and from Texas Instruments. We have reviewed them in our journal.
