Hello Yaniv,

> this eeg should be both pc based and standalone.

Here is an example of a small portable EEG that
operate both standalone and optionally with a PC.

NeuroDyne RealTimeEEG
http://www.neumed.com/Data/PDF/NeuEEG.pdf

The standalone features are:

- 21 LED bar graphs with 3 colors (this is similar to Mind Mirror)
- Digital numeric displays show reading
- Digital numeric displays for goal setting
- Pushbutton to select range (theta/alpha/smr/beta)
- Audio feedback for each channel (beep, click, raw EEG sound)
- Audio can be set to trigger on/off by threshold
- Signal prompts when threshold passed for more than 5 seconds
- Threshold logic outputs can trigger external devices
- Analog outputs 0-5V
- Used preamplified electrodes

The PC option provides:

- Biofeedback charts
- Automated treatment protocols
- Treatments sessions database
- Summary patient progress report
- Trigger control of external devices

The unit is 7x5x1.6 inches 2.1 pounds
I can't find a price on this unit.

I'v been looking at prices on a bunch of low-end EEGs.
Almost all of them are in the $900-$2000 range.
The cheapest one is CEO at $545
This is a one-channel WaveRider.
Why do you want to go all the way to <$100?
There is nothing anywhere near that cheap.
Even Light&Sound machines are $200-$300.
I think that somewhere around $300 is more realistic.
Will people even take a $100 EEG seriously?
