Open-source biosignal board

Programmable, community-documented hardware that lets makers and educators build custom biosignal-acquisition setups rather than using a closed proprietary device.

Where it's used

Bio-electronics experiment kits
Maker and classroom kits that turn a human or animal bioelectrical signal into readable electronic data — Backyard Brains' SpikerBox neuron/muscle recorders, OpenBCI's EEG/EMG acquisition boards and Ultracortex headset, BITalino's modular biosignal board, and Advancer Technologies' Muscle Sensor EMG module — the electronics-and-signal-acquisition counterpart to the microbe- and DNA-based kit categories in this catalog.
