We're building an EEG headband that improves the efficiency of deep sleep (https://soundmind.co)

Pedal handle is like bike, not guitar, though I recently started playing guitar. I've never heard somebody suggest a guitar, I usually have people ask "why are you nicknamed after a flower" (PetalPete) :)

That is absolutely fascinating. I've spent over a decade doing R&D for computer interface. I've played with EEG off and on. I've done a lot with myoelectrics. I spend a lot of time trying to find color, light, sound, and rhythm that sum up stressful light up rectangles into a more human mode.

I'm super curious about your manufacturing journey and your product. No pressure on response turnover or really any larger goal, but would you mind if I email you some time? I think we might have some overlaps that make for enriching conversation.

Yeah for sure. pete @ you know the rest.

I'm not sure about what you mean about "sum[ming] up stressful light up rectangles into a more human mode".

Love to hear of people doing interesting things in the BCI space.

conservation of energy and enjoying a public forum with poetry and prose. I'll hit you up and show you what I mean. And also it'll be weird because alternative interface it's hard to point at something and say, "It's like that" right? All we know is glowing rectangle. Just know that nearly religiously, I'm not trying to big time you or being cryptic or contrarian. I've got a goal. I do love talking to folks who got it enough to tell me "I have no idea what your talking about" or "this sounds stupid".

I dunno. I turn 40 next month. I'm kind of sorting out what that means. What you see is what you get with me. Test it. But yeah man. I will hit you up.

On a related but adjacent note, I've got massive respect for independent hardware manufacturers. I know a lot about what that dream looks like. I have not been able to get where you're at with anything that made the right sense.
