On the hardware side, the only thing that you have to do (apart from charging the battery), is attaching the sensor to the headband, and put your headband around your head, making sure that the sensor stays on your nape. The Unity SDK for NextMind is just fantastic. Well, the setup is exactly in line with this approach.
