Is PiEEG buggy? The only proof of function we know for PiEEG is this the «Control robot toy by a mind (with blinking) via RaspberryPi and shield PIEEG» demo on YouTube released 2 years ago on the YouTube channel of PiEEG developer Ildar Rakhmatulin:
- Demonstration – the EEG signal (upper graph) converted to a Fourier series (lower graph).
- We can see in the lower graph for various frequency ranges, dependence amplitudes from the frequency of blinking (5 Hz and 3 Hz)
- We set the threshold to the amplitude and connected two diodes. If the amplitude (lower graph) at a frequency of 1-3 Hz becomes more than the threshold, then the upper LED will light up.
- If the amplitude (lower graph) at a frequency of 3-5 Hz becomes more than the threshold, then the lower LED will light up.
- Everything is the same, but instead of diodes, we connected output discrete signals to the toy radio control panel and controlled the mouse (ahead, back).
Instead of a toy mouse, you can connect whatever you want.
Also the 10 year old OpenBCI Cyton still has issues:
- How shoud then PiEEG which came onto the market only recently be free from issues.
- But who tested PiEEG yet in an independent test?
- If PiEEG is similar to the Raspberry Pi 5 then pretty much nothing works and that is compared to the Raspberry Pi:
- then pretty much nothing works and that is compared to OpenBCI Cyton.
- But where can we find independent tests of PiEEG as for instance those of Robert Oostenfeld who listed the issues of OpenBCI Cyton?
