Hardware devices refer to durable, often more complex equipment or tools that are not consumed or depleted with use, unlike consumables. These devices are designed for repeated use over a long period and play crucial roles in conducting experiments, data acquisition, performing stimulation and manipulation protocols, and carry out procedures. In BrainSTEM, hardware devices are a shared model across users.
