Looks like a cheap 4 channel one might be available:

It is $250 and a lot of that cost is parts. The chip they use is $50 on its own. -
Well holy shit! I got a whim and searched EEG on amazon:

Don't search for BCI, search for EEG. For an experimental interface this is pretty decent if it works. -

@CoreFusionX Yeah, kinda seeing that. A lot just detect muscle movement.

I mean, I'm not saying it's not possible to read EEG, but, what I found is that beyond some generic mental states, it's impossible to deduce any kind of EEG pattern for an arbitrary person to wish an arbitrary action.
The patterns change with the action *and* the person, meaning that any kind of off the shelf neural interface is bound to be bogus.
So I had an idea of what might be useful for a Brain Computer Interface (BCI). I thought they must have brought the prices down on these by now... Oh my hell... The cheap "starter" kit from OpenBCI is $800+. The cheapest headset I could find anywhere was $129 and all the reviews say it doesn't work. What an absolute shit show. I sincerely thought these devices would have gotten costs down due to selling a lot of them.
I just want to hack some shit together and play with it! Not fucking take out a loan. I guess that industry is lacking the one application to make this kind of interface worth it. So I will wait another 5 years for that industry to make progress I guess...
I will have to look around for cheap Ardunio kits or something. What an absolute joke. I mean we are talking about a low noise amp and some electrodes.
