Optotrak Certus motion-capture system
High-resolution, low-volume, motion-capture system tracks motion of infrared-light-emitting diodes (IREDS) with accuracy of 0.03mm
Gaze-tracking camera. Two independent, head-mounted eye cameras plot direction of gaze (0.5-degree accuracy) by tracking the motion of the pupils. Gaze direction can be plotted as emanating from a virtual avatar (using MotionMonitor software integrated with the Optotrak motion-capture system) or as an overlay on the visual scene as captured from a head-mounted Scene camera.

Portable Doppler sonography system is used as a functional transcranial Doppler (fTCD) device to monitor cerebral blood flow non-invasively
A spectacle mounted visual occlusion device that allows an experimenter accurately to control the timing of when visual information is presented to an experimental subject.
Colourful interlocking plastic bricks, Lego pieces can be assembled and connected in many ways to construct figures
