At the heart of the setup is Electro, the iMac on the right side of the desk.  This computer dual boots both OS X and Windows XP, allowing it to run MGL experiments when booted into OS X, and Experiment Builder or E-Prime experiments when booted into Windows.  It is connected to a keyboard and mouse in the testing room, as well as the M-Audio 410 recording interface for audio recordings.  It can also be used as the host computer when using the ASL eyetracker.  This computer supports two options for the second video output, depending on if you will testing/debuging yourself, or running an actual subject.  Switching between the two setups requires simply switching the Mini-DVI connection in the back of the iMac.

The second machine in the setup is Joker, the Dell on the left side of the desk.  This computer dual boots between DOS and Windows XP.  In DOS it acts as the host machine for the EyeLink eyetracker.  It can also be used to run E-Prime experiments with the ASL Eyetracker.

On the shelf, on the far left is the subject monitor, which is connect to to a small infra-red camera in the testing room and allows you to monitor your subject during testing.  Sitting next to the subject monitor is the scene monitor, which shows whatever the subject is seeing, along with their eye position if using the ASL.  Sitting on top of the scene monitor is the ASL eye monitor, which will show the subjects eye.  On the right side of the shelf are the ASL control unit (which should always remain on) and the amp for the speakers in the testing room.  For details about the audio setup, go here.
