Hi Jim,
> What is your take on this? How much does it cost?
If pocket neurobics is everything that it says it is, then
it's one hell of an impressive engineering effort. Having
been a "tech evangelist", and having worked closely with
marketing and PR types, I don't put much faith in adverts,
white papers, or specifications. I'm at the point where I
don't believe anything until I've tried it myself. They
have an introductory offer for this thing at $685, regular
price $995, I could have sworn that price was $895 just a
couple of days ago, it looks like the price went down. I
hope that some of the folks on mind-l will try it and
post some results. Considering that Brainmaster is around
$1200 and low-end L&S starts at $200, that $685 price tag
is impressive, but everything looks good on paper. Here
are some prices of other low-end EEGs, other portable
biofeedback monitor, and popular L&S machines:

The CEO (one channel WaveRider) is in the same price range as
this Pocket Neurobics, and roughly same size too. It's specs
say: one fixed gain channel, gain 35238, CMMR 100 db, low pass
filter 40 Hz (72 dB at 60 Hz), high pass filter 2 Hz, 8-bit A/D
resolution, sampling Rate 128 Hz, full scale 90.58 milliVolts,
resolution 0.35 microVolts.
I wish I had the Mind Mirror that you were so fortunate
to get free access to.
Namaste,
Doug
