https://jwst.nasa.gov/content/observatory/instruments/nircam.html
Instrument aboard the James Webb Space Telescope. It has two major tasks, as imager from 0.6 to 5 micron wavelength, and as wavefront sensor to keep 18-section mirrors functioning as one. Imager covers infrared wavelength range 0.6 to 5 microns. NIRCam detects light from the earliest stars and galaxies in process of formation, population of stars in nearby galaxies, as well as young stars in Milky Way and Kuiper Belt objects. NIRCam is equipped with coronagraphs, instruments that allow astronomers to take pictures of very faint objects around central bright object, like stellar systems.

Designed for use in an MRI simulator, MoTrak software uses Ascension Technology?s Flock of Birds. The sensor attaches to the subject?s head and determines the position of the head in space relative to the transmitter. The sensor records angular rotations as well as positional displacements from an initially calibrated position. This information is displayed and logged by the program in real-time, allowing observation of head motion in an MRI simulator. In the simulator, the participant can simultaneously be habituated to the MRI environment, while being trained to remain still via feedback from the MoTrak system.
