I don't know if i'm correct, but to me it seems that this project
has a history. that is, the brainmaster project. it was don before,
so there are people on the list who should know.
but on the other hand, i thinks most people on the list (like me)
want to have a working device to work whit, or to build software.

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.
