read the message.
If (professional) software is for free, then prof. members of the
BCIA can have cheap EEG and free software to operate.
Clients however are still facing expencive consult.
The BCIA does not want every one to practice (illegal) BFB.
To become a member one must have first a regular educa-
tion. So people are forced to first get some degree and then
can follow education in BFB.
People who do not have some prof. qualifications are but
illegal practionars. In The USA therefore people who are
having interest in BFB can be under attack by the law.
BFB/NFB however is not a regular medicine, it is still an al-
ternative. No one would like BFB/NFB to replace drugs, FDA/
Farmaceutical industry.
There is still a long way to go, but sinds there is a battle
going on, who are the ones that figth ? Not only healt prof.
but all the people who are figthing for freedom.
People are forced to take drugs because BFB is not a regular
therapy, private sessions are for the ones who can afford,
How manny people in the world cannot afford private therapy.
(i cannot).
If i am rigth, in the USA one may not sell professional EEG
BFB to non-health professionals. So at this moment people
figth for there rigths to have access to BFB, at the same time
BCIA wants to have the rigth to be called "legal", and others
are "illegal".
At the same time BFB-practionars would be glad i they could
have cheap EEG, free software.
True, if one would like to help others, then education would be only logic to get the most out of BFB/NFB.
If a group would build for free, and design SF for free then
the BCIA could desig a proff. course (not for free) for the
ones who would like to become therapists.
That is, without having some sort of graduation first.
such a course would consist of medical/psychological courses
and finally special courses. I agree that one cannot be a good
therapist without professional training.
A low-cost machine was not created for a special group
like health-prof. But for every one. Considering the fact that
health prof. are NOT SO CHEAP, software could not be given
free because THEY MAKE MONEY OUT OF IT (while not
spending there free time for months writting programs).
The money they earn can be used for courses in BFB/NFB
While others are illegal, and whe are building for FREE ???
while whe want BFB to be for ever one ??? also the poor !!!!
I lost 12 years of my life because my doctor made a wrong
diagnose, then in later time i could afford alternative help.
I still have no access to aternative therapy. A lot of people
cannot have access to alternatives. No therapist would help
me for FREE !!!!! Should I spend MONTHS of programming
for FREE to HELP THERAPIST ?????
ps, do you also think i did not have to invest in my education
in engineering ???, or in lab. equipment so as to build EEG ?.

This project was started on the belief that biofeedback should be
accessible to everyone! Why are you talking about restricting access
and putting a price on software?!
