I like the argument that it's an eeg machine (it is) but it isn't
a medical device. (as per thermometers, etc)

While I feel we do need to look ahead, I agree that we need to
concentrate on getting a a working device. Using the "kit",
"experimental", "not for medical use", et al disclaimer it would
seem ok to follow in HAL's footsteps. How to help the hardware folks
accomplish this is the question.
