openEyeTrack

  Researchers from Boston University have created a low-cost system for tracking eye position in head-fixed applications. The accurate measurement of fast eye movement dynamics such as microsaccades in real time requires the use of high-speed eye tracking...
Catalepsy Bar

Catalepsy Bar

Researchers at the University of Guelph have created a low-cost automated apparatus for measuring catalepsy that increases measurement accuracy and reduces observer bias. Catalepsy is a measure of muscular rigidity that can result from several factors including...

Semih Günel and colleagues have created a deep learning-based pose estimator for studying how neural circuits control limbed behaviors in tethered Drosophila. Appendage tracking is an important behavioral measure in motor circuit research. Up until now, algorithms for...
Open Source Joystick

Open Source Joystick

This week we want to talk about joy! I mean, joy-sticks. Parley Belsey, Mark Nicholas and Eric Yttri have developed and shared an open-source joystick for studying motor behavior and decision making in mice!   Mice are hopping and popping in research, and so...
