## What it is
The Neurolab Hardware repository holds the open-source PCB schematics and layouts for a neuroheadset headband that measures brainwave electrical signals from the forehead. It is part of the FOSSASIA Neurolab project aiming to build an affordable open hardware device that plugs into an Android smartphone for brain signal analysis.

## Use cases
- design an open-source EEG headband for collecting brainwaves
- manufacture a low-cost neuro device from PCB schematics
- build a brainwave measurement headset that plugs into an Android phone
- study flexible electronics and forehead EEG sensor layouts
- create an affordable alternative to expensive medical neuro devices
- contribute to open hardware for mental health and relaxation monitoring

## When to choose
- you need open hardware design files for an EEG or neuroheadset device
- you want a low-cost, smartphone-connected brainwave measurement platform
- you are building on or forking the FOSSASIA Neurolab / PSLab ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you need finished firmware or a mobile app rather than PCB design files
- you require clinical-grade, certified medical EEG equipment
- you need high-channel-count research EEG like OpenBCI with full-scalp coverage

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
