Hey everyone - nontechnical person here. Need some advice on which BCI to buy.

I want to play with a wearable/neurotech device that can roughly detect states like stress, focus, relaxation, or “maybe i’m getting dysregulated,” then trigger a simple phone prompt/intervention.

Not medical-grade, just a personal prototype / playground.

What’s the simplest + cheapest setup for this? muse, brainbit, neurosity, OpenBCI, emotiv… or something else?

Main question: what gives useful data without needing to become a full engineer? (willing to learn whatever is needed, but I'm looking for as-entry-level-as-possible yet flexible enough)

----
edit: maybe a buying criteria is if there are plenty of tutorials avaialble abotu that specific product.
