About

University of Birmingham awarded a contract to VPixx Technologies Inc for the supply and installation of a magnetometry test bench including head phantoms, along with integrated equipment for visual and auditory stimulation, a button press device, and an eye-tracker.

The visual projector required a refresh rate exceeding 1000 Hz, the auditory stimulation needed to be MEG compatible, the control pad was to be MEG compatible using optical fibers, and the eye-tracker needed to operate at a fast sampling frequency (>1000 Hz) to detect micro-saccades and be integrated with the projector for coupling visual stimulation with eye movements.

The overall budget was up to £117,000 (VAT exemption), and the contract value was £72,842.

The project may be funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), European Structural and Investment Fund (ESIF), or Research Councils UK (RCUK).
