A classroom lab kit
Write a 3–5 session school or university lab course on biosignals (EMG, ECG, EEG basics) built on open-source tools, with safety notes included.
Possible Outcome
Open teaching materials (CC-BY licence suggested).
You own what you build. Publish it under your own GitHub account with your name and chosen open-source licence.
Why It Matters for Open Neurotech
University biomedical engineering and neuroscience departments often want hands-on biosignal labs but lack ready-to-teach lab handouts built around affordable open hardware.
Starting Points & Technical Notes
These are open-ended suggestions, not specifications or assigned tasks. Change the scope, combine ideas, or take a completely different approach:
- Structure progressive 90-minute sessions: e.g. Session 1 (Safety & EMG muscle contractions), Session 2 (ECG & heart-rate variability), Session 3 (Occipital alpha waves & eyes-open/closed FFT).
- Include student worksheets, instructor setup checklists, and mandatory battery-isolation safety rules.
- Publish under CC-BY-4.0 so educators worldwide can adapt the syllabus.
Independent Open-Source Work
PiEEG Ltd does not take on volunteers, interns or unpaid workers. Any project you start is your own independent activity under your own repository and responsibility. Read the full ground rules →
Safety First
PiEEG devices are not medical devices. Use battery power only when electrodes are on a person, and never connect to mains power during recording. Liability & safety →
More Education & Writing Ideas
Translate a getting-started guide
Translate an open README or tutorial into your language so more students around the world can start with neurotech.
Explainer videos
Make a short, accurate video about how EEG amplifiers work, what alpha waves are, or how to read a spectrum — on your own channel.
