My first EEG headset, but also a good learning experience. Rushing with excitement to collect more and more Personal data, I seldom had concern about the practicality of such devices. Even premium research grade headsets, while providing useful information, make the tradeoff between setup time and signal quality. I was never going to be someone who spent hours setting up a headset for myself, so taking the saline contact approach, plus low budget equipment, plus an unusually thick head of hair, work with the HALO was bound to fail. My dreams of taking my LeJEPA approaches of NeuralSet online data alignment for representation models to my own mind and work were never able to be actualized, not even SIGReg could recover latents from this noisy data!
Regardless, a wireless, portable EEG headband with 4 channel acquisition system provided a solid learning base for at least honing my signal processing skills.
Dry contact electrodes positioned over the forehead and occipital regions would be easier, maybe if we see a successor to something like Zuna I can make use of the 400$ I spent on this thing on a whim. You would think I was on direct Dopamine Agonists like pramipexole the way I impulsively bought this.
