Today we’re delighted to launch our latest project into the world. After months of development, we present [NeuroBB — The EEG, BCI, and Neurofeedback Discussion Forum](http://neurobb.com/?ref=autodidacts).

Brain-computer interfaces have evolved to the point where (mostly) normal people can use them. Affordable, DIY-friendly EEG systems like the [OpenBCI](http://www.openbci.com/?ref=autodidacts.io) and [OpenEEG](http://openeeg.sourceforge.net/?ref=autodidacts.io) have opened up the world of neuroscience, BCI, and neurofeedback to a growing community of enthusiasts. At the same time, inexpensive consumer devices by Emotiv, NeuroSky, and Muse are bringing biopotential measurement to the masses, and projects like [eeg64](http://www.eeg64.com/?ref=autodidacts.io) and [Open Ephys](http://www.open-ephys.org/?ref=autodidacts.io) are pushing open-source tools into the arena of professional research.

Until now, this burgeoning enthusiast community has had no brand-independent forum for discussion. Company forums have essential information and helpful, experienced members. But, with discussions scattered across dozens of product-specific forums, it's harder than it should be for questions and answers, amateurs and professionals, and students and mentors to find each other and share ideas.

### Enter NeuroBB

[NeuroBB](http://neurobb.com/?ref=autodidacts.io) is a brand-neutral forum for discussing EEG, BCI, and neurofeedback. It's a place where you can ask and answer questions, discuss the field, and exchange ideas with a helpful community of fellow neuro-enthusiasts and researchers.

We’re starting with an open format of just a few categories, and expect to organize the forum’s content further as we discover where the discussions lead and what topics the community is most interested in.

### Discourse: An open-source forum app that rocks

We’ve been around the block when it comes to open-source discussion forum software. We’ve tried PhpBB, TikiWiki, and a variety of Wordpress plugins. Before launching NeuroBB, we spent numerous hours breaking and repairing NodeBB, a promising but still-unreliable NodeJS forum app. In the end we settled on [Discourse](http://discourse.org/?ref=autodidacts.io). We’ve been happy ever since.

Discourse is built by the people behind [StackExchange](http://stackexchange.com/?ref=autodidacts.io), who know a thing or two about discussion software and how to build online communities. Aside from its resource-piggy RoR backend, it has everything going for it: an Ajax interface that’s lighting-fast and intuitive, post threading, sophisticated community moderation, topic summaries, @mentions, spam protection that actually works, and lots more.
