MazeScan automates the analysis of experiments conducted on all types of mazes including Elevated Plus Maze, Zero Maze, Radial Arm Maze, Y‐ or T‐ Maze, etc. In addition to detecting traditional parameters like entries into each arm/area and time spent in each arm/area as events, we provide the capability to detect novel parameters such as Stretch‐Attend behavior (SAP), Protected SAP (p‐SAP) and Unprotected SAP (u‐SAP), Head‐Dipping behavior, Body‐across‐two‐zones (partial incursions into a zone).
WaterMazeScan automates the analysis of the popular Morris Water Maze experiment. The video is taken of the water maze experiment from the top, and WaterMazeScan will analyze this video to give a variety of significant results. In addition to traditional parameters such as latency to platform and distance traveled, we provide advanced measures such as Heading Error (orientation difference from platform direction), Turning Ratio (number of turns per body length traveled), etc. The Turn behavior is special to the WaterMazeScan product and can count the number of turns the animal performs in the water.
All components of TopScan can be applied to achieve high throughput screening as well. System architecture for high throughput screening has been designed that involves analysis of up to 32 arenas on a system, depending on how large the arenas are. Such high levels of throughput are possible as we can integrate multiple cameras together into the TopScan system. The High‐Throughput product option is necessary to analyze more than a single arena simultaneously. The Realtime Option is necessary to perform realtime analysis where the live video feed into the computer is compressed, encoded, saved to the hard drive while simultaneously full analysis of the video is performed.
Many advanced features are incorporated, including supporting full color analysis, automatic adaptation to non‐uniform or changing environment, automated handling of light/dark areas, variable speed playback of specific video segment for specific detected behavior, etc.
Complete Turn‐key systems including all necessary Hardware and Software are available. Custom design of your environment to facilitate analysis, including lighting condition setup, IR/red light setup, cage enclosures, video integration, and video‐feed to computer is also available.
