Hello there, My name is Alessandro, I am 24, I live in the United Kingdom and I have absolutely no idea is someone is interested in these information. I joined this mailing list because I really would like to build my own EEG machine (I am a MSc student, my major is computational neuroscience). Unfortunately I have no experience with hardware. My first question at the moment regard where to buy my PCB. I know Olimex is listed as suggested shop, but apparently they stopped selling PCBs at the moment. So, my question is: sending the specs (ModularEEG BOM v1.1 EU) of the PCB to another shop would do the job as well? My kind regards to all of you, Alessandro |

Check out openeeg project. They have schematics available. Also, see the IBVA Brain VJDJ. They have an instructables instruction set to assemble a 5-channel EEG kit they sell. -Kevin http://openeeg.sourceforge.net/ http://www.psychiclab.net/IBVA/ORDER.html On 07/28/2013 12:29 PM, Alessandro Scoccia Pappagallo wrote: > Hello there, > > My name is Alessandro, I am 24, I live in the United Kingdom and I > have absolutely no idea is someone is interested in these information. > > I joined this mailing list because I really would like to build my own > EEG machine (I am a MSc student, my major is computational > neuroscience).

Hi Alessandro, Their website suggests that everything is still on sale. Where did your information come from? They do say they will be on holiday though from August 3rd - 18th, so will not be shipping between those dates. You could get another PCB manufacturer to make the boards, but it would be more expensive and possibly prone to error. The Olimex ones are known to be good. Also, you say you have no hardware experience, so I would recommend strongly that you buy the pre-assembled and tested boards form Olimex. I have a lot of hardware assembly experience but I still bought the readymade boards, it saved a LOT of work (parts sourcing, assembly, programming, testing). You would also need a programming cable and software... Good luck & Regards Paddy From: Alessandro Scoccia Pappagallo [mailto:ale...@gm...] Sent: 28 July 2013 20:30 To: ope...@li...

Thank you all for the useful information. I confirm it's still possible to buy the boards from Olimex, but I think this would not be possible any more after the 17th of September (it's written here: https://www.olimex.com/PCB/). The other good news is the process is now much more easy than it was described in the guide. Instead of writing the email you can just buy your PCBs here: https://www.olimex.com/Products/EEG/OpenEEG/ So next steps are: (1) case and cabling, and (2) electrodes. Anything I should pay particular attention to?

Alessandro, It looks to me like only their custom board service is going to be discontinued. It does not affect either unpopulated or pre assembled openeeg boards. Anyway, if you are getting the pre-assembled ones: 1. Case and cabling. Most important of all; make sure that the proximity of the 2 boards does not compromise the electrical isolation of the dc-dc converter, either directly or via any fixings that are used. 2. Get proper silver/silver chloride electrodes. I wasted a lot of time thinking I could make some. Get gel and preparation gel too. I'll probably write some more later (I have some notes somewhere) but got to run for now..

Thank you Paddy, much appreciated! 1. Okay, I would pay attention to that. 2. I see; I think I would follow your advice, my DIY skills are not good enough for making my own electrodes. Do you know a place I can buy some? Do I have to pay attention to something in particular?
