Founded his YouTube channel on 14.10.2006. Then he started with his first YouTube videos about:

a Do It Yourself ECG prototype 15 years ago:

This ended up with a YouTube video about

A Do Ii Yourself ECG with AD8232 and a computer sound card four years ago:

The last project on the personal site of Scott W. Harden was:

«Speaking Numbers with a Microcontroller

How to encode WAV files into C code that can be replayed from memory»

and was published on:August 19, 2023 in his site.

Scott William Harden, DMD, PhD. is neuroscientist at the University of Florida, similar to Marie-Claude Hepp-Reymond who was a neuroscientist at the Brain Research Institute of the University of Zurich in Switzerland:

And then at the Institute of Neuroinformatics of the University Zurich:

But neither Scott William Harden, DMD, PhD, nor Marie-Claude Hepp-Reymond ever used OpenBCI for their research. So is there something wrong with OpenBCI? Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org has to check the scientific literature about this topic. Peter currently knows of only one paper which uses

«OpenBCI as a A Novel OpenBCI Framework for EEG-Based Neurophysiological Experiments»:

But is the the Journal “Sensors” Basel not a journal which accept allmost anything which is submitted?

And Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org supposes that this Sensors paper is a paid promtional paper which was especially made for Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org to encourage him to buy products from www.openbci.com. But Peter does not trust in papers which do not declare that they have no conflict of interest, as Peter Gamma does declare it in his journal:
