OpenEEG: Analog Modular EEG interface with Arduino

Hello OpenEEG community,

First of all, thank you for all of your contributions.  I am a mechanical
engineering working with a group of neuroscientists to explore
human-machine interactions via EEG.  Our main interest is interpreting the
EEG signals and applying pattern recognition algorithms to achieve
multi-dimensional control over various systems.  I was overjoyed to find
such a wealth of  knowledge available from openeeg on the hardware side, as
that is not our competency.

As a mechanical engineer, I would like to deal with the electronics on a
"black box" level. I plan to purchase a single EEG-ANALOG-ASM and 4 x
EEG-AE from Olimex for starters.  If everything is working as desired, I
will order additional units for more channels.  I would like to record the
information provided by the analog circuit with an Arduino system (likely
the Mega2560).  This will allow me to record up to 16 EEG channels in the
future, as well as eventually allow me to conduct signal processing and
output control voltages without being connected to a PC.

I have read through the online literature, but still have many questions
(many will likely seem trivial to non-mechanical engineers).  These
questions regard selection of an Arduino system, powering of
the EEG-ANALOG-ASM system, and other component compatibility questions.  If
anybody is interested in helping answer questions of this type, please send
me an e-mail, and we can setup a separate e-mail list to avoid spamming the
entire openeeg list.

Thank you for your time!
Scott Varnhagen
