alt Hacker News> For obvious reasons, I am not naming the product/company here, but have reached out to inform them about the issue.
Coward. The only way to challenge this garbage is "Name and Shame". Light a fire under their asses. That fire can encourage them to do right, and as a warning to all other companies.
My guess is this is Luuna https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flowtimebraintag/luuna

I did consider naming, but they were very responsive to the disclosure and I was not entirely familiar with potential legal implications of doing so. (For what it's worth, it is not Luuna)
I don't see estim mentioned on that website, but I do see a comparison chart with 4 other competitors with similar capabilities to the one you linked.
What makes you think this is the one?
Even if naming and shaming doesn't work, I sure want to know so I can always avoid them for myself and my family. Thanks for the call-out and the educated guess.
EEG devices can cost a lot to own personally as well.
The other side of owning equipment like this is it still could be useful for some for personal and private use.
Presumably they’ll be named and shamed after they’ve been given a chance to fix things.
Doesn't disclosing this to the world at the same time as you disclose it to the company immediately send hundreds of black hats to their terminals to see how much chaos they can create before the company implements a fix?
Perhaps the author is not a coward, but is giving the company time to respond and commit to a fix for the benefit of other owners who could suffer harm.
