Description

Supply and Installation of a Magnetometry Test Bench Including Head Phantoms to the University of Birmingham

Equipment for visual and auditory stimulation, button press device as well as eye-tracker for monitoring the eye movements of the test-persons.

Visual stimulation: we require a visual projector with a >1000Hz refresh rate.

Auditory stimulation: the stimulation needs to be MEG compatible.

Control pad kid: The device must be MEG compatible, i.e. using optical fibers.

Eye-tracking: the eye-tracker must operate at a fast sampling frequency (>1000 Hz) in order to detect micro-saccades.

Furthermore it must be integrated with the projector such that visual stimulation can be coupled to eye-movements.

The devices above must be integrated in order to work together

Overall budget for this item is up to £117,000 (VAT EXEMPTION)
