Touch-panel operant test
We’ve combined unique IR sensor technology with the touch screen method to improve the accuracy of touch responses during operant rodent behavior.

OperantTaskStudio comes as a bundle of two software programs: The Trial Builder for designing your tasks, and Trial Executor for executing tasks. OperantTaskStudio is easy to use, requiring no programming experience. Users can design their behavioral neuroscience tasks by simply dragging task Action icons into the working space, separated by Connectors, and assigning them properties.

Operant Task Studioでは、プログラミングのスキルがいらずしても、構成されたハードウェアに合わせて Task を自動作成することができます。メインソフトでは、タスクをデザインする Trial Builder とタスクを実行する Trial Executor の 2 種類のソフトウェア構成。Trial Builder では、ハードウェアのアイコンを操作することによりタスクをデザインします。Operant Task Studio V2 では Trial Builder で作成したタスクを実行でき、全てのインポイントとトライアルごとの結果の 2 種類をリアルタイム保存します。複数のタスクにオペラント実験システムは適用可能です。
