Intel Circuit board on plastic mount attached to National Instruments USB-6008.
From the inscriptions on the board, this may be a circuit to convert infrared signals from sensors to a signal readable by computers. So this could be one of the 'blinks' used to process signals from Stephen Hawking's cheek movement sensor.
The collection includes a series of such items, at different stages of development. Most are clearly identifiable but this appears to be incomplete, or something else related.
