I'm very interested in this hardware, but the price has been a deterrent for me as well. I would have ordered it already for $199. But for $449 + extra for the electrodes, etc., it's a pretty serious investment for a fairly unknown device. My main interest in this tech is to be able to build a machine learning classifier for meditative states. Then when I have that classifier, I'd like to make a simple mobile app that lets people "record" and "measure" their meditation sessions.

You can do that with the Mindwave Mobile for around $150, and there are cheaper and more expensive versions available...

  Too low resolution to do that sort of science. Mindwave Mobile is only a single channel.

    The device seems to be designed for Neurofeedback, and it can measure frequencies relatively accurately. It has two built-in feedback measures "attention" (mindfulness meditation) and "meditation" (more like loving kindness meditation). The raw signal can be used to develop your own classifiers/feedback measures. Currently I think the practicality of one dry sensor on a wireless headset, combined with the cheap price, beats every competitor on the consumer level.
