biosignalsplux kits are ideal for your biosignals research needs, but at the beginning of a new project you’re probably faced with the question: which kit is the right one for me?
The decision is often guided by a mix of questions such as:
- What sensors do I need?
- How many sensors do I need?
- Do I need internal memory or is Bluetooth streaming enough?
- Do I need signal processing software or developer tools to develop my own software?
- Do I need to sync my device with third-party tools or use trigger accessories?
The questions can be overwhelming at first, but worry not as we have the right for tools for you!
