FlexRig is an open-source platform for running experiments to test decision making and cognitive flexibility in mice. It was developed by Dr Tim Spellman and his lab at the UConn School of Medicine. The platform allows for using olfactory, somatosensory, and/or...
Matthew Attokaren and colleagues recently published their project, BrainWAVE. It is an open source, noninvasive sensory flicker based deep brain stimulation method. This brain-oscillation stimulating software can be adapted across subjects and easily integrated into a...
Brice De La Crompe, Megan Schneck, and colleagues from the Optophysiology Lab at Uni Freiburg have developed and shared two exciting additions to the open source tools available for behavioral neuroscience. The first, Freibox, is a versatile and low-cost behavioral...
Vijay Namboodiri has contributed this summary of his lab’s open-source system for behavioral control based on the Arduino Mega microcontroller and a MATLAB-based graphical interface and analysis code. Associative learning and memory tasks are a staple of many...
Mafalda Valente and colleagues have developed Ratphones, a tool that can be used to deliver precise auditory stimuli to freely moving rats. Ratphones are a miniature set of headphones that allow experimenters high control over sound presentation in order to...
