5.0 out of 5 stars Great for single-channel EEG measurement!
By Moss Parker on September 9, 2015
When you get one that works they are great. Don't bother purchasing if you don't use Amazon Prime. I've ordered three of these for use in my EEG lab and only one of three has worked without having to return it. Even in light of this, the product is worth 5-stars, especially for research use, because there is an OpenVibe driver that works with it. It is the cheapest data acquisition tool available for quantitative EEG measurements. I've done peer-reviewed publication quality work with it. It really isn't a toy, yet it is marketed as one. If you are using a Mind-Machine type of device, this will enable you to see what is actually going on in your cerebral cortex.

Update: It's Feb 2016 and I have been continually using the same MindWave for over a year. I am consistently amazed by it. Just yesterday, I gave a presentation and what was presented was a sub-band analysis of the alpha-frequency bands of research participants receiving photic brain entrainment at 12 different frequencies in the alpha-band, and it is currently being written up for peer-review submission by the end of this month.

It's a cool toy if you use it that way, but if you use it with OpenVibe, and take the time to learn something about cortical electrophysiology, you can do some pretty amazing stuff. The first photo is of a monitor screen during data acquisition in an actual experiment. OpenVibe provides the display algorithm. The second is of an Excel spreadsheet of the Matlab analysis and graphing the results of the experiment. The third is of an operator in the control room as the EEG was being acquired (from the participant in the adjoining dark room as pictured on the monitor to the right from an infrared camera).

Update and Tips (Sep 2018): My experience with these devices is they either work or they don't. If you encounter a unit that functions intermittently, the source of the problem is skin electrical contact, What you need to do to obtain the most reliable operation is to clean the skin under the electrode and the ear lobe with rubbing alcohol to remove oily skin residues and makeup, and then apply liberal amounts of contact lens multi-purpose solution (saline) to both electrode locations (we use Bausch & Lomb re-nu). This last step enhances electrical connectivity with the skin. We are now starting up another set of studies examining the emotional components of music on EEG sub-bands (2Hz - 80Hz in 0.5 Hz increments). This is turning out to be exciting stuff.

Update (April 2019) We're currently in the process of collecting data from the 80 participants in the Music and EEG study. Still using the original working MindWave we bought in late 2014. Everything is still working perfectly. As for connectivity, I usually calibrate our system sitting in the control room wearing the mindwave. The RF signal is still strong enough to allow excellent connectivity, even though I'm sitting about 20 feet from the RF receiver with a wall between me an it. OpenVibe continually assesses signal strength, and has a moving bar display that shows the ampliotude of the signal. Those having difficulty with connectivity should try to debug the problem using OpenVibe. It's a free download and it it "serious" software.
