First promo video I saw told me I can get the Ganglion for $100, but less than a year later it's $250 Then add the smallest headset for another $199, (which is essentially a strip of material and 4 sensors, yep $199) and you're still claiming that every student will have their own system to use in class. The price of going open source doesn't appear to as cheap as you claim. I'm with others, I'd love to buy and play with a system like this, develop something cool, but it appears us developers are the ones paying the price, while you repeatedly take the credit for opening up the market and lowering prices. So my question, when will we see these prices becoming affordable to all?

@@despareint the “low-cost” bio sensing starter kit in their website is now 884.99$, it’s crazy, how am i supposed, as a student/private researcher, to afford that
@@pietrocapelli3947 it feels like Apple to me, they need funding for RnD but that doesn't mean they should charge an outrageous amount for simple stuff. Mark V can no way cost them half of what they're charging.
Can I connect several boards (collecting data from different subjects) to the same computer/server? Will I be able to distinguish data from subject A, B and C?
I’m really excited about the work you guys are doing with Valve’s next generation HTC console! Eventually we should Not only have the option to navigate a virtual gaming environment and control an in-game avatar entirely cerebrally, we should also be able to control home appliances cerebrally as well!
I guess it depends on what you want to play around with. There's a how-to page on OpenBCI on how to isolate your first brainwave, so I'd say the first thing you need is a knack fiddling around with tech and a willingness to dive into literature as appropriate. Having some programming skills is a plus, so is having some knowledge about how the brain is structured. Then again, if you are pondering whether you should buy it or not, better first do some reading/research about neuroscience and see if the field is exciting to you, because if you are not motivated by the field and by learning itself, it's probably not worth it.
I fell in love with the 3D printable delivery method * - *

I agree, OpenBCI is overly expensive and not so open as they claim to be.

Can I use Arduino or Resberry pi based ECG,EEG modules for BCI ?
Can I connect several boards (collecting data from different subjects) to the same computer/server? Will I be able to distinguish data from subject A, B and C?
I am in love!!! YAY 😍🧠🫀🤓
Do BCI products offer eeg and ecg data only? Nothing for nero/transcranial stimulation? Or do you just provide the equipment?

Price is too high for openbci boards 😭
Way overpriced!
E3K has created this for under $129
If u wanna know more
Tag and comment on this
@@dhruvsheth7260 Hey can you give more info on it?? pls
@@dhruvsheth7260 Hello if you see pls reply soon .
thanks and regards
Is the sensors location fixed?
How much background knowledge do I have to have in order to start playing around with this?
I read it as “how much background noise”😅 maybe because of the music

quick question: is wifi connection between sensors and raspberry pi possible without wifi shield?
I can pay and receive in Brazil?
I want to buy it, help me please!
do you have words predicting something similar to keyboard
It's good, even though it's not completely brain controlled, it's more like muscle controlled.
no, eeg is all brain
Bro i just want cool robot arms
Now you are confusing me... 😂
price is bullshit imho
Over $1000 just to know what my dummy brain is up to ?
those prices are a fucking joke!
