The '''Devices''' were short video clips featuring [[Kaori Shimizu]] talking or walking around or just standing there staring into the camera.  The Devices were played at the end of each episode in lieu of next-episode-previews. They were also released as special features with certain BluRay or DVD releases of Serial Experiments Lain.

Each clip focused on a different part of Shimizu's body. The point was to liken parts of the body to computer hardware. This calls to mind the claims associated with [[Psyche]], that is, to allow the user to access the [[Wired]] without the use of a device; the implication is that the true meaning of deviceless access is to abandon the flesh itself.
