== Concept ==
 
Mitch Altman proposed a Global Hackerspace Challenge and PS:One accepted. We proposed the construction of an array of biosensors which could be used
 
in a secondary school or college setting as an educational and experimental tool. The array will collect data from various sensors attached to
 
the test subject's body and then make that data available to the experimenter. The project will use as many COTS parts as possible. The terms
 
of the Challenge require that it use a microcontroller and a "portable power source".
 
 
 
The full description of the Challenge is at [http://www.tvbgone.com/downloads/hs_challenge/hs_challenge.htm Global Hackerspace Challenge].

== Sensors and their Project Leaders ==
 
 
 
This list contains the proposed sensors, in order of decreasing priority. For each sensor, the persons leading the R and D are listed.
 
 
 
# Body temperature - Phill, Shawn
 
# oxygen saturation and heartrate - Phill
 
# galvanic skin response - Phill
 
# respiration frequency, volume and carbon dioxide output - Bill
 
# ECG and EMG - Shawn, Avner
 
# EEG Avner
 
 
 
The project must also include the following components:
 
 
 
* microcontroller - Eric, Phill
 
* data visualization design - Eric
 
* mobile device interface - Bill
 
 
 
== Notes ==
 
 
 
There is useful information available from the Open ECG and Open EEG projects.

For my part, I've been re-building my development environment for
 
Python and Qt on the Nokia N900 mobile device. I've also been
 
reading through "Building wireless sensor networks" by Robert
 
Faludi, to get an idea of the wireless options available to us.
