Does anyone know where i can buy an EEG that i can hook up to my computer? I feel like playing around with biofeedback and seeing if i can possibly train myself to control my computer by thought. All i really need are the electrodes and some module to transfer their signals to the computer. I can probably use a robotics module for inputing the signals, so basically all i need is a place where i can buy those electrode caps (or perhaps just a place to buy electrodes which i can fashion into a cap myself). I can program and set up the rest myself. This would make for a helluva project.
