The Emotiv EPOC headset (http://emotiv.com/) has become one of the lead-ing BCI equipment available today as a result of its low-cost (consumer edi-tion for $300-400, research edition for $500) and features (14 EEG channels plus two references, inertial sensors, wireless connectivity, etc.). Although it has been integrated in a vast number of BCI applications, yet, its use for research purposes is being questioned by many researchers. As a response to such concerns, this article has been published (originally on 25-12-2010 at http://neurofeedback.visaduma.info/P300nEmotiv.pdf) by including the results of an empirical evaluation of the Emotiv EPOC headset based on an oddball paradigm and the procedure for repeating the experi-ment for interested individuals.
