Software improvements 

The project frontend and dashboard does tomographic reconstructions in real-time, has been through several iterations. The first attempt was my own hand crafted(with the help of Open CV's radon transform) back-projection method with 8 electrodes. Then a move to use matplotlib and TkInter as the GUI front end and the pyEIT library which provides 3 very nicely implemented EIT algorithms. 

After talking to Marion Le Borgne, who created Cloudbrain (http://getcloudbrain.com/) about her implementation using plotly and electron, it became clear that this was the way of the future! It would be much nicer to have an app that could simply be downloaded, and this is what electron does, while still leaving the flexibility and hackability of the python numerical backend in place. For those interested, they can go to the github respository and play, but if you just want to try it out, record data and do experiments, this front end should be the easiest. This update is still underway, so stay tuned!
