Ask HN: What problems can a consumer EEG solve?
An example of such an EEG is the OpenBCI device, plus whatever set of useful machine learning algorithms are used for source localization and signal processing.
Other than e.g. helping people with locked-in syndrome to communicate with the external world, or brain-computer control of robotic systems,
1. what questions can it help researchers to answer?
2. what problems can it help researchers to find?
- ThrowawayP 10y agoA consumer-priced EEG system would enable individuals to conduct polysomongraph testing at home to diagnose sleep disorders. Analysis of time in each sleep phase by EEG is the most accurate way of assessing quality of sleep but current polysomnograph systems are very expensive and complex to use and therefore polysomnograph testing must be administered through an overnight sleep study session at a clinic.
