Hi Jo*mar,

Thanks for the info. I had already conducted a search on the topic and listed some of the results on this thread, but there has been no followups that I'm aware of.

But I took your advice and I went back and looked at a thread on the Parksinson's forum:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...+helmet&page=4

I would build my own helmet if I had the technical expertise. I was under the impression, based on my original interpretation of the post above, that the LEDs were $400 a piece, but I think I misread that--I think they meant $400 for all the parts needed for a completed helmet. I'm seeing the 1070 LEDs for $20, so that certainly changes the cost factor. But I'm not an electronics expert, so I would not feel at all comfortable building this myself, as the wrong configuration can be harmful.

That said, I will have to find out more information about the cost of this study before I commit. Is there anyone I can hire to build this for us?
