- USB fully software-controlled 2 channel combined electro/TMS/infrared stimulator is now fully operational, new version that will also support a DC component is on the way. | |||
- PoC code that internetworks BCI's from various vendors will be available soon - it already works on Macs with Mindwave and Muse. | |||
- We have obtained an intranasal electrode which can be used both for electrostimulation of medial prefrontal cortex and nootropics electrophoresis. Will start experimenting with electrophoresis of 20 % Piracetam soon | |||
