Anyone who has been around since I started this blog in 2009 will know that I have never, ever solicited donations through the blog. However, I need to raise the funds to purchase a proper 19-channel, research-grade EEG. Although I have a much less sophisticated machine at home, no research I do would ever make it past any journal editorial team because 19 channels is the minimum expectation for publishable scientific work. As I already have tuition fees and other training expenses to pay, the lack of professional equipment is a really huge barrier as things stand to getting my work out there. Having this equipment would be the one single thing right now that would make an enormous difference.
The training workshops and other practitioners I know use the Mitsar system, and I would like to use the same system because I am familiar with it, I have met the chief developers, and I already have the software on my laptop from the workshops. What I need to buy is the hardware: the amplifier, small, medium and large caps, plus cables and any other peripheral supplies. I have calculated the cost of all the necessary equipment to be approximately £10,000 sterling. Rather than faint at the prospect of somehow raising that on my own, I have instead created a Go Fund Me account, the details of which are here: https://www.gofundme.com/2jnfjyjs.
If you cannot donate, please instead consider forwarding this link to your contacts.
Let’s break down how this could be done. If 1,000 people donated £10, or 500 people donated £20, or 200 people donated £50, none of these amounts would break the bank and the target would be met.
I am not a publicist nor a fundraiser by inclination. I would much rather concentrate on the research and productivity side of things. That is where you can help get this project over its current stumbling block.
