Hello Jim,

thanks for the offer, but I've already bought one of them expensive
meditation-by-binaural-beats CD's. Now I need some sort of feedback
to see if it really works for me, that's part of what the EEG-meter
is for. I'm beginning to feel that I'm impervious to binaural
beats. :-)

Then, how does your Synchronizer work? Isn't the theory of binaural-
beats pretty well founded? Monroe (inventor of 'Hemi-sync') et.al.
usually refers to an article in Scientific American from 1973 by G.
Oster, so there has to be some merit to it?

I've played with the Waverider's software, so I'm using that as a
template for my own. Buying it is out of the question I'm afraid, i
can't afford the $1700.

This file is on the buildcheapeeg board, in the files section under
hardware design, so you can find it there. What kind of error did you
get?
Since there have been comments on the signal-to-noise-ration on this
board, please see (hope the link works)

http://www.biosemi.com/publications/artikel1.htm

for a discussion of the design.

My design is basically theirs, but since they didn't print the
resistor values I had to figure them out for myself. I also changed
the frequency response to achieve pure AC-input. To that design I've
added a right-leg-drive feedback circuit. They claim 136 dB CMRR
without trimming...

Agreed. I'm in the process of building them now, though I need to
find an opamp with low offset, noise AND high input impedance. At
reasonable cost. :-)

Thank you! Will you post it on your website?
