Tools & Services
EEG
Sensors placed on the surface of the scalp non-invasively record electrical channels sampled at 256 times per second. Raw brain responses can be translated into measurements of attention, excitement, engagement, frustration or cognitive load. Data can be synchronized with eye tracking, galvanic skin response, and facial expression data to produce a complete array of evidence of user response to stimuli.
Eye Tracking
Infrared cameras capture visual attention and fixation. By recording eye movement, eye tracking technology is able to record fixation points and how long a user gazes at certain elements. This data can be used to create heat maps of focus by users. Eye tracking can be used in coordination with EEG and galvanic skin response.
Lab Environment
iLUX provides a state-of-the-art lab environment located at the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. A complete range of equipment, trained technicians, data analysts, and consultants are available for research ranging from website and device usability to shopper and advertising and biomedical.
Data Mining and Data Analysis
In coordination with the Arizona State University School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering, iLUX is able to provide state-of-the-art data mining and data analysis services that can help you make sense of and visualize the data you are gathering.
Experimental Design and Results Interpretation
iLUX provides expert consultation with PhD researchers to assist in the construction of experiments with a high degree of validity and reliability with proper controls and isolation of variables to ensure results that are publishable and defendable.

ABM X-10
The ABM X-10 10-channel wireless headset combines 9 channels of midline and lateral EEG sites and one channel for ECG, EMG, or EOG data sampling 256 times a second. The headset is comfortable and non-intrusive and features a Bluetooth wireless signal with a radius of up to 10 meters, and 8 hour rechargeable battery life.[…]
Tobii Mobile Device Stand
The Tobii Mobile Device Stand, in conjunction with the X2-60 eye tracker, provides a stable environment for doing eye tracking on smaller mobile devices such as phones, tablets, and e-readers. The stand adjusts for different participant body height and creates the ideal situation for natural participant-device interaction.
Tobii X2-60
Tobii X2-60 is a modular eye tracking research system designed to capture gaze and eye movement without restricting head movement. The X2-60’s accurate and robust tracking capabilities are ideal for usability, market research, and psychological studies that involve PC or laptop screens, mobile devices, or television screens.
Tobii Glasses 1, Tobii Glasses 2
Tobii Glass is a wearable eye tracking tool ideal for revealing what captures, attention or interest by monitoring the eye movement and gaze of the wearer. Tobii Glass is completely mobile and useable in the natural world or lab environment.
iMotions Attention Tool 5.0
iMotions Attention Tool 5.0 is the leading agnostic hardware integration software platform allowing for the synchronization of EEG, eye tracking, GSR, and facial expression data. The software allows for fast and easy access to synchronized biometric raw data into a simple .txt file ideal for data mining and analysis.
