-EEG -> multiple copies of the 1 channel bipolar (TrueSense Kit) recorder, multiple copies of MindWave Mobile (1 channel) and Muse (4 channels), Emotiv Epoc (14 channels), KT88 (16 channels, photoic stimulation), AMEA slow potentials mapper (2 channels), new model of AMEA expected this year

-Weak field TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation, microtesla range or even lower) -> 64 coil Koren helmet augmented for placement of more coils, smaller phone tap coils - based hats and setups, large (3m) coil, MIT-MT stimulator (0.1-99 Hz range) with different size coils (induction going up to 25 mT max, 8-shaped configuration up to 10 mT) including coils with centrally positioned high power red, IR and blue LEDs for combined light/photic and magnetic stimulation
-Weak field TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation, microtesla range or even lower) -> 64 coil Koren/Murphy/Persinger helmet augmented for placement of more coils, smaller phone tap coils - based hats and setups, large (3m) coil, MIT-MT stimulator (0.1-99 Hz range) with different size coils (induction going up to 25 mT max, 8-shaped configuration up to 10 mT) including coils with centrally positioned high power red, IR and blue LEDs for combined light/photic and magnetic stimulation, Almag-02 running field (up to 50 mT) pre-programmed stimulator 




-Other -> SGR sensor, photopletismograph with vegetative status estimation capability, modulated high voltage "singing arc", scopes, magnetometers, function generators, amps etc.

DIY news: USB fully software-controlled 2 channel combined electro/TMS/infrared stimulator is now fully operational, PoC code that internetworks BCI's from various vendors will be available soon - we expect to present it at Nineworlds FutureTech.
 
Miscellanea: Michael Persinger's "God Helmet" effectiveness has been reproduced by an independent group: http://www.scribd.com/doc/267811996/God-Helmet-Replication-Study


Of course, you are more than welcome to suggest other relevant ideas to test and projects to try. The possibilities are, indeed, "Limitless" (pun intended).
