Zexin Chen, Ruihan Zhang and colleagues have developed a tool called AlphaTracker which allows researchers to anaylyze the behavior of multiple animals via video analysis. This tool has been worked on in several labs, including but not limited to Shanghai Jiao Tong...
Based on the understanding of the “eye-mind hypothesis,” neuroscientists have been utilizing eye-tracking software in their lab settings to collect data for various behavioral studies (more specifically, attention studies). But, with the rapidly changing state of...
Movement tracking is a commonly used method to measure locomotion and environmental interaction. It is a highly versatile tool allowing for measurements involving memory and cognition, social interaction, pharmacological effects, anxiety and depression, and much more....
Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rt-fMRI) is an exciting technique that enables real-time data monitoring and neural feedback. However, the current software solutions for this technique are generally limited in terms of analysis and cost. To provide a...
The forced swim test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) are highly validated measures of depressive-like behavior in rodents that have both been used for decades to screen for antidepressant drugs. They have also found use in evaluating the non-motor symptoms of...
