Laboras

LABORAS is an innovative measurement system that recognizes several behaviours of small rodents (mice and rats) fully automatically. The system is currently the only system in the market which is able to determine a large number of different behaviours without traditional human observation. The following behavioural elements can be distinguished: climbing, drinking, eating, grooming, immobility, locomotion and rearing. In addition the system determines the following tracking parameters: position, speed, maximum speed, traveled distance and position distribution. At the end of 2006, LABORAS release 2 was launched with an improved user interface and faster processing capability.
