Strange; I wrote my reasons in the very message you quote, but I'll put it
briefly again -- to use biofeedback for group encounters and group related
work. I also see very little value in remotely transmitting EEG data just for
viewing purposes, but see a lot of potential in group work. But if I wasn't
clear, I agree that this is beyond the scope of the OpenEEG project. It is,
however, a direction that I will eventually be taking later on down the road.
Dave.
