"start my own acquisition program"
I presume you intend to develop an application software for EEG / ECG.
You can do it on a PC in ASSEMBLY, C, C++, VISUAL BASIC programming languages. The order in which they are listed is TOUGHEST to SIMPLE.
You need some basic education in MATH, GRAPHICS, COMPUTER ORGANIZATION etc.
Many other langauages can be used like FORTRAN, PASCAL......
You get good starting points - examples in C and C++
More on specific requests.
All the best.
Have nice programming time !!!
