Thanks for praising my design. However it is somewhat
obsolete now. Better take the new RS232EEG02analog
part of the recent modular approach.
It has features like shield drivers and right leg driver and a
test subject protection against circuit failures.

Bandpass filtering ? Or FFT ?

What algorithm/method do you want to use for frequency multiplication ?

That reminds a little bit of the "flexyx " method of Len Ochs.
However he did not use the full spectrum but only one predominant
frequency.

BTW. it is rather easy to connect LED-goggles to the COM-port.

I will have a look at the datasheets.

Why 5 s ? It seems rather late to me.
For effective learning the feedback should be a fast as
possible.
