Dario Ringach has written some nice software for the Trachtenberg scope mentioned before on Labrigger. They also have put together their own Cypress PSoC-based hardware box to control several parts of the system.
He set up…
The EyeWriter DIY project is for the disabled, but could work equally well for psychophysics applications. All of the code is open source, and the build is thoroughly documented.

Mice can learn to navigate virtual reality environments using a spherical treadmill, and this behavior drives place cell and grid cell activity.
Christoph Schmidt-Hieber has started uploading his code to Google. …
This site has a nice big list of software for visual psychophysics. It’s very extensive and includes free as well as commercial solutions: visual stimuli, analysis, teaching, hardware, and more.

Optics Planet has a nice selection of inexpensive microscopes and other lab equipment. Such as these chubby, potential Cute Overload…
We covered a simple lickometer circuit previously. Another useful interface is a capacitive touch sensor. In contrast to light gate sensors, there are no extra photons floating around that could disturb an…
Lickometers detect when an animal, usually a rodent, licks a water port. They’re useful in all sorts of behavioral tasks, ranging from addiction experiments (spike the water and see how much they consume), to…
