TopScan is a general purpose Top‐view based behavior analysis system and was the first to use animal body parts (since 2002) to provide the most accurate behavior analysis results possible. It is applicable to a wide range of experiments, from the most basic animal tracking task to more complicated tasks such as Novel Object Recognition […]
TopScan LITE
TopScan Lite is a modified version of TopScan so researchers can obtain a high quality product with the lowest price available in the market today. Examples of applications include Open Field, Novel Object Recognition, Maze Analysis, Morris Water Maze, Barnes Maze, Place Preference, etc. Using a four-point tracking method (Nose, Fore Body center, Body Center […]
DrugEffectScan
DrugEffectScan is an optional module for TopScan that is a powerful and effective tool for detecting commonly occurring behaviors of animals under drug effects: head waving and darting. DrugEffectScan provides several measures for the detection of head waving including: number of times the head turns to the left, number of times the head turns to […]
LocoScan
Analysis of Locomotor behavior in rodents is a common and important measure in preclinical research studies. Locomotion experiments are used to test the levels of activity of the animals, rhythms of their movements including randomness, inclination to stay close to the walls (thigmotaxis) or move closer to the center of the arena etc. Often drugs […]
RunwayScan
RunwayScan is a component of our NeurodegenScan Suite. RunwayScan system meets the needs for gait analysis of animals. Gait analysis allows highly sensitive, noninvasive detection and evaluation of many pathophysiological conditions, such as those occurring in Spinal Cord Injury, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, arthritis, pain, neuromuscular and skeletal muscle diseases. read more content RunwayScan […]
StereoScan
In behavior research area, many researchers want to study both the activity and life pattern of an animal at the same time. General speaking, activity can be best quantified through top view analysis (e.g., locomotion), while side view analysis provides much more detailed information on animal circadian rhythm (e.g., home cage behaviors like, eat, drink, […]
GroupHousedScan
Long‐term monitoring of animals in their home environment has been the Holy Grail for behavior scientists. Heretofore, it has been only possible with our HomeCageScan system, with the limitation that there can only be a single animal in the cage. Solitary housing of animals for extended periods of time is sometimes not a feasible solution. […]
WatermazeScan
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. WaterMazeScan detects all the traditional analysis measures of a water maze experiment, including: latency, swimming path length, mean swimming […]
FootFaultScan
FootFaultScan is the new name for our existing Parallel Rod apparatus and software system. It includes a Parallel Rod hardware device and associated software that measures up to 3 behaviors: foot faults which are measured by a touch sensor underneath the parallel rod floor, locomotor activity measured by video analysis from the top, and partial […]
