wel...l is there any easy way through which i can statistically analyze the videos that i made for memory tests specially i wanna check locomotion and rearing activity with a the central novel object in an open box but the trick is my animal was hamster not mouse? any helpful suggestions?
I would suggest to create a position distribution from the video tracking data (distribution of time against position) and apply statistics on this.
In our product LABORAS (which is not based on video technology, but force based measurement), we also calculate the position and then derive various parameters from the position.
With LABORAS you can also detect behaviors, such as locomotion, rearing, grooming, scratching, etc. It provides the duration and number of occurances of each behavior.
See more information about LABORAS at our website.

Depends on the configuration, determined by:
- Number of platforms: 1 up to 8 (connected to 1 PC)
- Species: mice, rats or both
- Detection capability:
> Position tracking parameters (always included)
> Normal behavior detection group1 (locomotion, immobility, rearing, climbing)
> Normal behavior detection - group2 (grooming, eating, drinking)
> Circling detection module (detects clockwise and counter clockwise circles, etc.)
> Special behavior modules (see our website)
Please let me know what kind of configuration would be interesting for you and I can give you an approximate price.
Starts at about 22K Euro, but depeding on the size of the system configuration this could go up to 100K+ Euro.
We just generate a matrix over the field and record how many times the animal is in each square. Then you can analyse it any way you want. External square use, internal square use, distance from object, activity levels etc. It's cheap and easy.
