Cambridge Research Systems

Booth 6

Cambridge Research Systems provides a diverse range of novel hardware and software solutions for vision science and human brain mapping. This year we are launching a range of cost-effective, modular hardware accessories that are designed to equip Vision Scientists with the essential tools of their trade. All the devices have standards-based, cross-platform hardware and software interfaces and are designed to integrate with community tools like Psychtoolbox and PsychoPy. Just pick and choose what you need from our range: the devices work equally well when they are linked synchronously together or operated standalone. This range includes: programmable digital video processors that have 16-bit RGB outputs and a host of other neat features, colour display measurement, calibration and characterisation equipment, discrete remote desktop fixation and high-speed video eye tracking systems, a multifunction data acquisition device that make samples relative to an external trigger source (e.g. a video frame sync pulse), a buffered digital audio file playback system that can be controlled using digital triggers (just think “iPod for science”), plus a collection of traditional push button and unique touch-based, self-configuring response boxes that all offer host operating system independent reaction time measurements. To find out more, please look at our leaflet in the VSS bag, visit our website at http://www.crsltd.com and talk to Steve Elliott during the meeting.

SR Research Ltd.

Booth 13

SR Research, maker of the world leading EyeLink High- Speed eye tracker line, have been developing advanced eye tracking technologies and serving world class support to our researcher user base since 1992. Now offering the world’s first 1000 Hz eye tracker for use in MRI and MEG environments, this same core device can be cost effectively configured to be used in standard lab environments as well. Why buy multiple eye trackers when you may only need one! Visit our both for more information and a discussion of existing installations. Please visit http://www.srresearch.com for details on our eye tracking hardware and software product range, including the latest Experiment Builder software, now supporting both Windows and Mac OS X! We will also be demonstrating integration with the new cutting edge hardware made by VPixx Technologies, including their Response Pads and the DATAPixx real-time hardware toolbox.

Tobii Technology

Booth 2

Tobii Technology is the world leader in hardware and software solutions for eye tracking and eye control. With eye tracking a computer knows exactly where a person is looking, enabling new powerful ways to understand behavior and enhanced control interfaces. Tobii’s products are widely used within the scientific community and in commercial market research and usability studies, as well as by disabled people as a mean to communicate. Tobii also drives integration of eye tracking technology in a large number of other areas, offering OEM components for integration into various industry applications. Founded in 2001, Tobii has continuously shown very rapid year-toyear revenue growth. The company is based in Stockholm, Sweden, with braches in the US, Germany and Norway. Products are sold directly and through resellers and partners worldwide. Visit www.tobii.com for more information.

VPixx Technologies Inc.

Booth 12

VPixx Technologies welcomes the vision community to VSS 2010, and is excited to demonstrate our DATAPixx product. The DATAPixx is an essential realtime hardware toolbox containing solutions to many of the technical challenges associated with stimulus presentation and data acquisition. DATAPixx features dual synchronized video outputs with 16-bit video DACs for presenting low-contrast stimuli, 16 simultaneously sampled ADC channels, 4 DAC outputs, stereo audio I/O, and digital I/O for triggers and response boxes. All data I/O is hardware synchronized to video refresh with microsecond precision! The DATAPixx is now supported by the PsychToolbox under Matlab and free open-source Octave. Visit our booth to see the DATAPixx, our new fMRI-compatible fiber-optic response pads, and integration with the Eyelink eye-trackers from SR Research.
VPixx Technologies will be hosting the second annual response-time showdown during demo night this year. The demo is a simple game in which you must press a red or green button as fast as you can when the button lights up and you hear a beep. Do it well, and win a prize! The fastest hands in 2009 came from the University of Montreal.
Who will win this year?
