kanzurethe damage is to the fingers, not the scalp at least11:15
-!- randallagordon [~randallag@c-76-115-126-45.hsd1.or.comcast.net] has joined #hplusroadmap11:16
kanzurethe electrodes are made up of three parts- a metal layer, felt, and plastic keeping the felt and metal layer together11:16
kanzurethe plastic is circular of course, and has these plastic spikes on the side that are supposed to be helpful for "clicking" them into the slots on the headset11:16
kanzurenaturally, these spikes hurt11:16

kanzurefenn: when the headset is put together and on your head, only felt is touching your head11:22
kanzureer, and two rubber "electrodes" or thingies11:22
kanzurethey store the electrodes in what they call a "hydrator pack"11:22
kanzurewhich is just a way of storing the felt so that it doesn't dry out. they give you this little saline bottle to wet them so they don't irritate your skin for the inevitable 20-hour gaming sessions11:23
kanzureso, their website is absolutely terrible, and so is their business model11:23
kanzurethey have different .dll files for people with different licenses11:24
kanzureif you pay $1k, you get the .dll that has access to the raw EEG data11:24
kanzurebut otherwise, if you're an application developer or something, you have to use the dumbed-down .dll file11:24
kanzurewhich makes no sense to me because someone can just get the .dll and upload it11:24
fennoh i didnt realize they were wet electrodes11:25
fennso did you get the super dll file?11:25
fenni'm actually really surprised there isn't a linux driver for it yet11:26
kanzureworking on it :)11:29
fennwhy did you pick epoc vs OCZ neural impulse actuator, or some other thing, or all of them?11:31
