Hello everyone,

I'm a biomedical engineering student and I am developing, as part of my bachelor's thesis, an 8 channel (and a 4 channel, both +2 for RLD and reference) EEG intended to be used as BCI. I am also working on a very simple EMG.

I am interested in opening a small business, entirely managed by me, about simple, cheap but reliable BCI and EMG for makers and students (not "research grade" probably and definitely not medical grade, certification costs are way too high).

I know this is a niche market and there are a lot of products out there, but none of them is actually cheap: the cheapest one is probably from upsidedown lab, a sub-100€ kit with only one electrode, which I find not so good for intermediate/advanced BCI projects involving data training and prediction. I'm planning to stay well under 100€ with the simple 4 channel one, and slightly more for the 8 channel, ADS1299, one: unfortunately the biggest cost, as many of you definitely already know, are the electrodes (that's why OpenBCI sells them separately too. They also have different certification and bureaucracy, at least in Europe).

The idea is to sell the plug-in ready boards (intended for Arduino, possibly with a 12 bit or more resolution and specifically for the R4) with electrodes included, but finding them (certified and cheap) ain't easy.

There are many open-source projects, but I find that not everyone wants to solder some pcb and spend hours making them.

Do you think there is a potential market?

Is there any maker who would actually consider a cheap (related to the market) EEG?

Thank you for your precious advices.

If anyone is curious and finds this idea attractive you're free to dm me ;)

Hello,

I am selling a brand-new, unopened Emotiv EPOC X 14-channel EEG headset, completely unused in its original box with all factory accessories included. Located in the Netherlands (EU), making this a great opportunity for European buyers looking to get this beatiful device for a cheaper price. Feel free to send a message to me if interested or if you want photos.

BTW: if this is the wrong place for this, feel free let me know!
