OpenBCI is completely open source.
Emotiv is a lot more difficult to deal with when it comes to interfacing [1]. The reference I provide is sort of old but it is definitely applicable to Emotiv products in general.

- neatze 6y agoDo you know by any chance if OpenBCI can also be used for electrical stimulation, if not, is there similar opensource project for stimulation ? (I believe this achieved via same electrodes)
- disabled 6y agoNo. It cannot. It is strictly an EEG device, which measures electrical signals from the brain. Also, any sort of electrical interference (from other electrical stimulation devices) will cause inaccurate readings. I am not an expert on this: However, if you are looking for electrical stimulation, the safest is considered to be transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), but I am not necessarily endorsing it nor am I calling it safe. There is also transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS). You can find guides on it here [1], and there are ways to build such devices. Such devices are also sold on Amazon, I believe. There is also somebody who made a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device, which is obviously very dangerous [2]. This treatment is used for things like depression and migraine headaches.
