I don't have working hardware yet either. Nor do I have EEG
experience. I'm just building up and experimenting, learning as I go.

Having thought about this, I'm not totally sure about this comparison
now -- it's *like* the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics, but
in quantum mechanics, as soon as you look at it, it collapses into one
state or other (according to what they taught me at University, at
least).
With recorded data, you can look at it as many times as you like, in
as many different ways as you like, and it stays the same. I'm unsure
of the significance of this.
