Iteration 2: Tuesday, May 01, 2001

I'm going to start with a list here for the hardware specs,
requesting feedback from list members with more information than
I have. When somewhat gelled, I'll convert it to HTML format
for the website. This is only the first "rough draft" and request
for feedback. All useful information will be included in future
iterations.

* Hardware

* The "Black Box":

Current prototype is a design by Joerg Hansmann.
http://www.jhansmann.de/eeg/eeg.html links to info on
the RS232 and Gameport designs with the RS232 unit being
the current design of choice. Unfortunately, I can't
get the latest version of the design software to display
those files which were created with an earlier release. (Help?)

(Yaniv's info via Sanjay Sood)
| Freq. Response: 0.5 Hz to 75 Hz.
| Amplitude : 50 microvolts
| transducers/leads : Ag-AgCl (preferably)
| Channels : two
| Power supply : Inbuilt rechargeable battery.
| Enclosure : Moulded plastic case of half the A4 size document.

There is interest and discussion of getting FDA approval
of the unit as a medical device.

There is interest and discussion of the unit being available
as a manufactured product vs a "kit".

---------------
The parts list which I can read but appears not yet complete
shows a parts cost of 165 DM or about $US 75 thus far.

Host computer requirements: (help?)

| Unfounded guess is any pentium class machine capable of
| running W95 or later; unless Rob Sack's software requires
| more horsepower than that. (Rob?)
