The PiEEG kit, an open-source Raspberry Pi shield, is revolutionizing access to neuroscience research by enabling users to measure electroencephalography , electromyography , and electrocardiography biosignals. Developed to democratize neuroscience, PiEEG offers an affordable and user-friendly platform for both researchers and hobbyists.
Designed to be compatible with Raspberry Pi models 3, 4, and 5, PiEEG features eight channels for connecting wet or dry electrodes. It facilitates data transfer via the Serial Peripheral Interface protocol, offering sampling rates from 250 samples per second to 16 kilosamples per second with a 24-bit resolution per channel. The device also provides programmable signal gain settings ranging from 1 to 24, allowing for precise signal amplification. Additionally, PiEEG includes impedance measurement capabilities and three free pins for connecting external objects, enhancing its versatility for various biosignal measurement applications.
In September 2024, the development team introduced PiEEG-16, an enhanced version capable of measuring 16 channels of biosignals. This advancement enables more detailed and complex biosignal analysis, further expanding the potential applications of the device. PiEEG-16 maintains the original’s commitment to affordability and ease of use, aiming to make advanced neuroscience tools accessible to a broader audience.
The PiEEG kit has garnered significant attention within the neuroscience and maker communities. Its open-source nature encourages collaboration and innovation, allowing users to contribute to and build upon the existing platform. The device’s affordability and comprehensive support materials, including software packages and technical documentation, make it an attractive option for educational purposes in universities and schools.
