The Muse headband looks like it covers a pretty small area of the head right? Other products in a similar price range cover more or less the whole scalp.

Correct, if I recall correctly it has 8 sensors, 4 forehead and 4 ear side. Previous year I wanted to try again but seemed like they drop linux support and asked to reach them via mail to have sdk, so I didnt bother. If i would go now I would go with openbci project I guess

I've got a muse on my desk right now, it works-for-me on Ubuntu 16.04 with a BLE dongle and the BGAPIbackend of pygatt.

FWIW, the main advantage of the muse design is that by going across the forehead it avoids interference from your hair, if I understand correctly.

The NeuroTechX ppl are working to get some demo notebooks working with muse. https://github.com/NeuroTechX/eeg-notebooks https://neurotechx.com/

Thanks for the info, considering situation maybe I can give a shot again:) Yes I also remember reading that sensors had pretty much identical results with emotiv as well. This project also looks pretty cool , thanks for sharing.

Cheers!
