Hey Mitch,<br><br>I've never been to the baltimore node and I hear you're supposed to be there this weekend. Maybe I'll make a trip up!<br><br>I'm working on a low cost version of an ECG amp front that can be assembled as a kit. Once that's working I'll refine it with an instrumentation amp and add more electrodes. Then I have to work on ADC and signals processing. I have a Xilinx Spartan-3E board with some onboard ADC hardware that might work well as a processing host with the picoblaze soft processor loaded up. Still ironing out the kinks in getting my computer to talk to the board though ;) I'm also interested in what cheap microcontrollers might be able to handle.<br>
<br>EEG seems considerably more ambitious than ECG, but I'd like to move onto EEG once I get the hang of ECG for sure.<br><br>I'm open to working on any kind of human machine interface project, but this is what I'm focusing on right now as an entry point into bio signals. I'd be interested in biofeedback related stuff, driving robots or other systems with the heart signal, etc.<br>

(Thanks for passing that to the list again, Sai.)<br>

Hi Daniel,<br>
<br>
The ECG would be a way fun project to show off! I'm also copying the EEG and Cyborg lists here, since there's probably projects that could all fit nicely together. North Paw would certainly be one. Any other Cyborg projects that would be cool to show off at The Next HOPE? <br>
<br>
Can we get a cool EEG project together for The Next HOPE? Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Mitch.<br>
<br>
p.s. I almost made it to DC this trip out East, but couldn't quite fit it in. Nick said you are kicking ass in DC, Daniel. Yay!<br>
