Principle
The VideoTrack for WaterMaze is a complet turnkey system that enables to fully automate the test.
It is based on a easy to set video imaging system. The only thing you need is the VideoTrack computer connected to its camera. The pool can also be purchased for rats and mice.
High
Accuracy in Data Supplied
The setup is done throught a friendly user interface that helps you designing the pool and the plateforme of interest.
Once the protocol is set up and a list of animals is defined, the user is ready to start an experiment.
Automatically, the computer tracks the animal, quantify it's activity and analyses behavioral patterns, with the highest accuracy.
Among those results the user will have :
- latency to the platform,
- latency to the former position of the platform,
- heading angle,
- time spent in each zone (quarter, rings, ...),
- time spent in inactivity movement - floating,
- time spent in medium movement - orientation,
- time spent in fast movement - exploration.
Adaptable
- Our device adapts to any situation including
white/gray/black pools, clear or colored
water,...
- The Water Maze system can be purchased as a full system which
includes:
the software, computer and camera that
analyzes the animal behavior
the pool built according to your
