You can find that out by comparing PiEEG:
https://petergamma.org/tag/pi-eeg/
to Muse Headband:
https://petergamma.org/tag/muse-headband/
- One of the main reasons of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org to retreat from the Muse headband was, that:
- The Muse SDK is not available for private users anymore:
https://github.com/sccn/labstreaminglayer/issues/30
- The Muse Headband offer only Bluetooth transmission, which is an issues for instance to study fast gamma waves in the brain.
- The Muse headband offers only 4 EEG channels, which is view compared to PiEEG with up to 8 channels, and OpenBCI with up to 16 channels.
-But PiEEG offers the option to overcome the 16 channel limitation of OpenBCI with a software solution. This cannot to done with OpenBCI in a way so that it is also a solution for professional developers. - After all Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org knows, it should be possible to build up for instance a 32 channel EEG device from 4 PiEEGs. But the software for it first needs to be developed.
- But the features described here make PiEEG a device which is more interesting for developers than OpenBCI or the Muse headband.
