My university lab has BIOPAC-MP35 student version, and I have to do a study on children. Unfortunately, EEG cap is not available and I will have to use single electrodes for my research. Moreover, I have to do neurofeedback on children, for which BIOPAC doesn't seem much useful. So I am thinking of using Emotiv Insight as it is cheap, affordable, portable, and has 5 electrodes (I am planning to purchase it).
So what would be the value of research, in terms of quality and possibilities for publication later? Is BIOPAC-MP35 better than Emotiv Insight?
Thanks in advance!!
Hi,
I think that Emotiv along other "low cost" systems have good advantage for neurofeedback, especially because there many applications (hence documentation) that have been developed in throughout these years. Also, the availability of compatible environments make it suitable for a research tool. I would like to add some literature and Emotiv compatible development environments. I hope my answer was useful.

Hello,
All of this technical jargon around neurofeedback is new to me, but how fascinating! It gives me an idea for a brain-computer interface project involving autism. You never know what inspiration will come from the most unexpected sources. Thanks Bruno, and good luck with your research Tarun.

There have been some doubts around EEG quality produced by EPOC. This study seem to show they produce research-like EEG mesurements,s o you should be ok with it (also check its references): Article Validation of the Emotiv EPOC EEG system for research qualit...
I had some experience with Emotiv EPOC a few years ago and got the feeling it was not that good, specially for evoked potentials. However, things might have improved since then.
Good luck,
