What inspired you to make this project?
I work at a medical research institute, and work alongside a few neuroscientists. Some of whom use the Cyton for their research. We got to talking about it, and my colleague had some gripes with it. I did some more research, saw it was within my reach, realized the need, and after some brainstorming, decided to take the project on! It was originally going to be something I made at work, but after a long while passed (since said conversations) I realized it wasn't going to get started anytime soon unless I did it on my own.
I officially began the project only a month out from Coney Island Makerfaire, and worked my tail off to try and get the first hardware iteration out for the Faire in time (there was one point where I literally pulled a double all-nighter, on work days mind you lol). Luckily, I did, even if I lacked any demo. Coney Island was my first Makerfaire, and I'd say it was a success! I'm hoping to further step my game up for this one.
