ANY-BOX
ANY-box is a multi-configuration behaviour apparatus designed to be used with ANY-maze to automate all of the following tests:
Open field
Novel object recognition
Conditioned place preference
Light/dark box
Hole board
The ANY-box core consists of the base plate, a height adjustable infrared photo-beam array for rearing detection, a camera mount, a USB camera and an AMi-2 Digital interface. To this core you can add different enclosures for the above tests. For example, if you wish to perform work with the open field, hole board and light/dark box, you could purchase a single core and one of each of the appropriate enclosures. This would be significantly less expensive than buying apparatus for each of these tests individually.
Up to 4 cores can be connected to a single AMi-2 Digital interface (further reducing costs) and tests in them can be performed simultaneously (and independently) using ANY-maze.
