In addition to the address I posted earlier, the
company has a second website that's aimed
more at marketing the device to consumers. You
might want to look at that one also.

Their website used to say (maybe still does) that they've
applied for a patent on the electrodes. I just did a quick
search to see if the patent has issued and found something
else that may be equally relevant.
A company called Physiometrix (which makes
specialized EEG equipment for monitoring anesthesia
levels during surgery) got a patent last October that
discloses "Braille-tip electrodes" that incorporate a
gel reservoir. I don't know how East3's design works,
but judging from the illustration on East3's site, it
could be similar to Physiometrix's.
If anybody wants to take a look at the patent, it's
U.S. patent number 6,128,521. (Folks can look up
it up on the U.S. Patent Office website at
http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html.)
Regards,
Rob

I, for one, had been completely unaware of this company and its
technology. It would really be a good idea for everyone to have a
look at it. They may have solved the electrode problem once and for
all. I wonder if they'd sell them, how much, etc. I'm afraid,
though that they are very likely to see us as competitors.
