Capability spotlight

BlackBox One: behavior, seen from below.

BlackBox One joins the MuriPhys behavioral suite, with recording from below and PalmReader tracking of paws and posture.

BlackBox One is now part of the MuriPhys behavioral suite. Mice move freely in a dark, enclosed arena while a camera images them from below. PalmReader machine learning tracks each paw and maps posture frame by frame.

What it adds to a behavioral study

Video-based behavioral recording can support preclinical studies with:

  • More consistent behavioral assessment.
  • Reviewable video records.
  • Detailed measures of movement and activity, depending on the assay.
  • A standardized approach that complements traditional scoring.
