I have only seen the schematics and the serial protocol of the bm,
but have not tried to build it. (old CPU, only 8 bit ADC, etc.)

the RS232EEG is obsolete now, because soon the modularEEG will
be available that has even better properties than the RS232EEG.

Some features of the modularEEG are:
(new features of the modularEEG that enhance the RS232EEG concept are
marked with +)

*all Schematics, Layouts, firmware etc. freely available under GNU/GDL License
*10 bit ADC resolution
*256 Hz sample rate
+*modular bus concept (minimum system consists of one digital-pcb and one analog-pcb with 2 EEG channels)
+*up to 6 EEG channels (with 3 analog-pcbs)
*4 digital TTL-input channels
+*driven right leg (DRL) technology for enhanced line-hum recjection
+*5th order anti-alias low-pass filter (only in hi-end version)
+*built in sweepable calibration generator
*optically isolated RS232 Interface
*AT90S4433 RISC CPU (from ATMEL)
*firmware written in C (with AVR-GCC)
*firmware flashable with freeware tool SP12 and a simple parallel-port cable

*protocol-compatible with Electric Guru EEG-feedback-software from Rob Sacks

About 600,--DM for a modularEEG with one digital and one analog pcb
(2 EEG channels) without electrodes, completely assembled and tested
in plastic cabinet.

Components cost are about 200,--DM.

At the moment a ready assembled version is not available partly due to unresolved
legal questions.

HTH.

What languages ? C++ ?
