Let me Introduce first, I am Rodrigo Mendoza. I am studying Mechatronics Engineering at "Universidad Catoliva Boliviana - La Paz/Bolivia." Whats the purpouse of this project? I love open Source Community and i love to sleep. Yes, i love to sleep. When i first started to even think on EEG, i wanted to have my room automated to regulate my sleep making it more effective, but i did not have any reliable source to measure my sleep! Until my college was about to get a BCI applications EEG device. Well, the plan failed so i decided to stop college for a semester and dedicate to build one myself.

The alternatives like ModularEEG, The Programable CHIP, and OpenBCI were somewhat good, but still complex build or too expensive for my budget. I noted that neither uses ICA as a base, so i started to research the field. Suddenly my vacation was gone and i was on the middle of the research. So here we are.

My research and my ideas i think are robust and well defined. So now we begin to build it and test! The electronic components arrive this week and i am exited. I will upload the complete or partial schematics of the design some time soon. If you have any thoughts let me know. Here is my gitHub reppo, i know, its really empty. It is because i am learning how to use git and github for that matter. But dont worry, i'll learn soon enough!
