📈 Biosignals
Systems for acquiring electrical, optical, and physiological signals directly from the body.
Galea Headset
An all-in-one multimodal biosignal platform combining EEG, EOG, eye tracking, IMU, pulse oximetry, and VR integration in a single wearable headset. Developed in partnership with Valve, it is uniquely suited to naturalistic and immersive paradigms where multiple physiological streams need to be synchronised without cabling overhead.
Unicorn Hybrid Black
An 8-channel research-grade wireless EEG headset with dry hybrid electrodes, combining ease of setup with data quality suitable for BCI and neurofeedback applications. Its compact form factor and LSL compatibility make it a go-to device for student projects and quick data collection sessions.
ActiCap
A high-density active electrode EEG cap system from Brain Products, offering superior signal quality with integrated pre-amplification at each electrode site. Available in multiple channel configurations, it is the lab's primary system for high-quality research-grade ERP and oscillatory analysis.
Muse 2
A consumer-grade 4-channel EEG headband with additional PPG, accelerometer, and gyroscope sensors. Its accessibility and wireless convenience make it ideal for classroom demonstrations, introductory neurotech workshops, and low-barrier entry projects. Compatible with BrainFlow for Python-based data acquisition.
Muse S
The sleep-optimised variant of the Muse platform, built for comfort during extended wear. The soft fabric headband enables resting-state, drowsiness, and sleep-stage research paradigms that are difficult to run with rigid headsets. Integrates with BrainFlow and is accessible to new users with minimal training.
Delsys Trigno
Eight wireless Trigno IM sensors providing simultaneous surface EMG and 3-axis IMU recording per sensor. The lab's primary platform for motor control, prosthetics, gesture recognition, and rehabilitation research. Sensors stream wirelessly and synchronise with EEG and motion capture systems via LSL.
NIRx NirSport 2 (fNIRS)
A portable, wearable fNIRS system from NIRx for measuring haemodynamic responses across cortical regions. Supports up to 8 sources and 8 detectors and is well-suited to prefrontal cortex monitoring during cognitive, motor, and dual-task paradigms. Its wireless design allows naturalistic movement during data collection.
🏃 Behavioural Measurements
Motion, posture, and movement quantification tools for motor and rehabilitation research.
Webcam-Based Motion Capture
A lightweight, camera-only motion capture pipeline using MediaPipe and similar pose estimation libraries for real-time body and hand tracking. Lower in precision than Theia3D, but enables rapid prototyping, remote data collection, and low-cost replication of motor paradigms. A practical starting point for student projects and pilot studies.
Theia3D Markerless Motion Capture
A multi-camera markerless motion capture system using deep learning to extract full-body 3D kinematics without physical markers or a suit. Produces biomechanics-grade joint angle and segment data, dramatically reducing setup time and participant burden. Ideal for gait, rehabilitation, and naturalistic motor studies.
Kinarm Exoskeleton
A robotic upper-limb exoskeleton for quantifying and perturbing arm movements with high precision. Enables detailed assessment of sensorimotor function, motor adaptation, and proprioception. Used in stroke, Parkinson's, and neuromotor rehabilitation research. Note: the Kinarm is not owned by the Discovery Lab; access is available through the LIMB Lab.
