OpenEEG is Open Source Hardware and Software project for low cost EEG device which to be replacement of the expensive commercial Electroencephalography devices and can be used at home. The project is hosted at Sourceforge and have schematic and PCB design in Eagle CAD format.

Why OpenEEG was created?
The OpenEEG device was designed in 2004 by group of engineers who were interested to play with neuro feedback. As the commercial EEG devices were expensive at that time they decided to create one of their own. This is how Modular EEG was designed, it was made with PTH components to be easy for do-it-yourself approach and was aimed toward amateurs who would like to experiment with EEG.

Regulatory business
Commercial and clinical EEG devices must meet up to certain standards. The OpenEEG was not certified. The designers have done their best to create a safe device, but knowing whether the effort is good enough is a completely different matter. Therefore: everything is provided as is, without any warranty of any kind, expressed or implied.

OpenEEG Hardware - The ModularEEG
The ModularEEG device is made up of two or more EEG amplifiers (a.k.a. ANALOG boards which serve x2 channels), and a 6-channel signal capture board (a.k.a. DIGITAL board) that connects to a PC via a standard serial cable. The standard setup has two EEG channels.

The ModularEEG is available from Olimex in PTH assembled version, blank PCBs and SMD version with electrodes
