About the service

Our motion capture and immersive technology room provides a large area for interaction and movement. Twelve cameras provide real-time full-body motion tracking in real or simulated environments. In combination with wearable EEG, fNIRS, and physiological recording, this space makes innovative new studies of cognition in rich, naturalistic environments possible.
