hi
about the eeg/emg/ecg - there's of course another option - setting a
diffrenet gain , as sleeper told .
for example - there's the waverider jr.
http://www.mindpeak.com/wavejr.htm
according to it's specs it seems that one could do ecg/emg/eeg
biofeedback with 8bit/128hz/8variable gains.
so i guess here the question is question of quality , what one wants
to do with the machine , etc .
so maybe the ecg designer would tell us a bit about his ecg ,
purpose , specs . and then we have reasonable basis for seeing how
to integrate his ecg design .
sincerly yaniv.
