OpenBCI

After doing some initial ECG experiments with a simple Arduino shield,
I got my OpenBCI from Kickstarter just in time for 31C3.
For the time being, I'll use this blog posting to collect some links and notes until I get things sorted out.
Much of the OpenBCI documentation on the official site and source code repository is still unwritten,
so I need to do a lot of hunting, gathering, guessing and experimenting.

Results so far:

• I see clear signals with lots of SNR for muscle movements and eye movement
• The OpenBCI_GUI app has way too little in the ways of signal analysis.
• I'm having trouble using my Olimex EEG designs in BrainBay with the OpenBCI

Getting started

• Tutorial 01 (feedback)

People/Talks/Blogs

• EEGhacker Blog by Chip from the US
• Attention and here too
• EOG
• ECG
• No OpenBCI group on Google+
• Open-BCI.org (different project) on 28C3 and on 31C3 (3 years later)

SW

• OpenBCI github repositories 
• I didn't try the OpenBCI input module of BrainHacker yet (Windows only)
• I honestly need to look at the Android software connecting to the OpenBCI via Bluetooth.
• Binary MacOS version is newer then binary in github (has 50Hz option for notch filter)

HW

• bottom pins vs. top pins
• Getting a 50Hz notch instead of a 60Hz (TODO) 

Headware

• Where to store the battery pack? (TODO)
• How to assemble the SpiderClaw (note that V2 is not for the OpenBCI V3)
