A small group of us have been working on a low-cost, easy to use EEG device for the polyphasic sleep community, tailored specifically for tracking your sleep. Reliable EEG headbands are increasingly hard to find. We want to change this to help people pre-, during, and post- adaptation, and to improve our community’s access to data so that we can inform a general model of polyphasic sleep.
 
Right now, we’re figuring out what features that we should most prioritize in the headband. If you’d like to have input (and get on the list for early access, updates, and prototype testing) let us know your thoughts by filling out this brief, 3-minute survey:

This survey is currently planned to be open for submission until the 17.04.2021.
