In 2007, Adam Hoffman and colleagues shared their design for an Electric Operant Testing Apparatus (ELOPTA) in Behavior Research Methods. Operant behavior is commonly studied in behavioral neuroscience, therefore there is a need for devices to train and collect data...
Nikolas Francis and Patrick Kanold of the University of Maryland share their design for Psibox, a platform for automated operant conditioning in the mouse home cage, in Frontiers in Neural Circuits. The ability to collect behavioral data from large populations of...
In the journal HardwareX, Jinook Oh and colleagues share their design for OpenFeeder, an automatic feeder for animal experiments. Automatic delivery of precisely measured food amounts is important when studying reward and feeding behavior. Commercially available...
In HardwareX, Brendan Drackley and colleagues share VASIC, an open source weight-bearing device for high-throughput and unbiased behavioral pain assessment in rodents. The assessment of pain in animal models is a key component in understanding and developing...
In HardwareX, an open access journal for designing, building and customizing opensource scientific hardware, Martin A. Raymond and colleagues share their design for a user-constructed, low-cost lickometer. Researchers interested in ingestive behaviors of rodents...
