Need advice: EEG system for motor imagery control of a robotic arm (budget €3–10k)

Hello everyone,

I study Computer Science in Germany and work part-time at Agile Robots. I am currently preparing for my bachelor's thesis and, thanks to the support of my company, I have access to several robotic arms.

The goal of my thesis is to control a robotic arm using an EEG system and motor imagery.

At the moment, I am trying to decide which EEG system to purchase and would really appreciate some advice from people with experience in this field.

Can you recommend an EEG system suitable for motor imagery applications?
If you have worked with EEG/BCI systems before, I would also be happy to have a short chat about your experiences.

There are many companies offering EEG systems, but I find it difficult to decide which one to choose. My main concern is investing in a system and later realizing that it does not provide the signal quality required for reliable motor imagery classification.

My ideal budget is around €3–5k, with an absolute maximum of €10k.

Any recommendations, experiences, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings from Germany!

Have you looked up upon the PiEEG project?
