The HVS Image system allows to you to track and analyze trials in any maze type, including those with any number of arms. This includes T maze, Y maze, elevated plus maze, radial arm maze or any multi-arm shape you design for your own experiments.

Calibration is quick and simple with the HVS Image point to point experiment designer.

All the data you may need is recorded during tracking, and you can choose (at any time) which measures and analyses to include in your results files, depending which are relevant to your particular study. If, for example, the arm ends are of importance in your experiment you can use measures relating to the far end of the arm; if you are studying anxiety-like behavior using elevated plus maze, you may choose the percentage of time spent in the open arms vs the closed arms and / or the number of entries to the open arms vs the closed arms. Use as many or as few analyses as you wish, and re-analyze with different choices to test new ideas later.

The HVS Image system includes all the equipment and software you need for video tracking and analysis, and we can also supply you with mazes of your required shape and size. The system is remarkably quick and easy to set  up and use, but we provide whatever help and support you need to get up and running and run your experiments smoothly.

Measures and analyses provided include:

• Average speed.
• Total number of arm entries or entries into defined areas (e.g. arm ends).
• Number of arms or defined areas visited.
• Number of entries to each arm or defined area.
• Latencies to each arm or defined area.
• Entries to each arm or defined area.
• Percentage of path in each arm or defined area.
• Percentage of time in each arm or defined area.
• Entry-sequence.
