using Ear-EEG device with OpenBCI amplifiers?

AlexB

Dear listmates, 

Sorry if I duplicate this topic, though I used search option before opening new discussion.

I think that idea about continuous monitoring of brain activity by using portable EEG devices like OpenBCI could be fruitful for placement of EEG electrodes in ear channel, as suggested in some studies.

Please see for example:

or here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24109744

It would be useful for paroxysmal activity monitoring at least for temporal sources!

best regards,
