Powerful tracking
Use literally any maze
- Zones: Draw shapes to divide your apparatus into areas, then combine areas to create any number of zones.
- Sequences: Define sequences to detect movements between areas or zones.
- Immobility and freezing: Automatically detect immobility and freezing, perfect for fear conditioning.
Track with precision
- Whole animal: Use whole-animal tracking to precisely detect arm entries.
- Three-point tracking: Track the head, centre and base of the tail to provide both location and orientation.
- Accuracy: Track accurately, even in poor light or low contrast, without setting any obscure parameters.
Class-leading flexibility
Connect to almost anything
- Acquire: Use purpose-built ANY-maze interfaces to acquire data from levers, photobeams, sensors, running wheels…
- Control: Also control speakers, pellet dispensers, optogenetic lasers, syringe pumps, shockers, lights…
- Adjust: Change shock intensity, alter tone frequency, set a laser’s duty cycle… even while a test is being performed.
Easily design complex tests
- Automate: Use procedures, built from a few easily understood statements, to automate your tests.
- Straightforward: Procedures can be simple – for example ending the test if the animal finds a water-maze island.
- Sophisticated: Or they can incorporate complex rules for what should happen when, based on the animal’s behaviour.
Smart experiment management
Follow an intuitive test schedule
- Automatic: ANY-maze automatically maintains a schedule showing the status of all the tests in your experiment.
- Stages and trials: Break an experiment into multiple stages containing repeated trials – for example, training and probe.
- Stay in control: The schedule is flexible – skip tests, retire animals, or just add tests as you go along.
Benefit from flexible testing
- High throughput: Increase throughput by running independent tests in up to 40 apparatus simultaneously.
- Live data: View live information during tests, such as zone visits or the state of inputs and outputs.
- Real-time warnings: Have warnings, such as a dispenser running out of pellets, reported immediately and noted in the test’s results.
Comprehensive analysis
Access hundreds of measures
- Extensive: Results are available for the whole apparatus and for each zone, point, sequence, behaviour, input and output.
- Per zone: Results are analysed for the entire apparatus and for each defined zone.
- Across time: Results are reported for the duration of the test, for equal length time-bins, and for any specific periods.
Visualise and analyse results
- Visualise: Visualise test results using track plots, heat maps and charts.
- Analyse: Analyse between treatments, strains, genders, trials, etc, using over 30 built-in parametric, non-parametric and post-hoc tests.
- Transfer: Copy and save data in a variety of formats for easy transfer to programs such as Excel, SPSS and Statistica.
