EthoVision XT 9.0 released

• Activity detection - distinguish between sitting and freezing for fear conditioning and operant work
• Batch acquistion - track from video files overnight and view your analysis results in the morning
• Hardware event detection as an analysis parameter; e.g. activity while a light was on or off
• External commands - trigger physiological recording when EthoVision starts tracking
• Additional smoothing filters, multiple arena manipulation tools and support for firewire and GigE cameras

Neuromarketing - Emotiv EEG meets Eyetracking

• Visualise raw and interpreted data streams live with eyetracking
• Link emotional responses to eyetracking through one interface
• Gain a better understanding of user experience
• Build a complete lab. with FaceReader 5.0 and The Observer XT 11

Interested? Then sign up for one of our roadshows or contact us for more details.

FaceReader 5.0 released

• Score any event such as 'talking' or 'distracted' during emotion tracking. Events and emotions can be analysed together with other behaviours in The Observer XT11 using the Project Integration Module
  
• Record a video of the participant during live tracking that can be opened with the data in The Observer XT
  
• Advanced API that allows real-time emotions to trigger changes in other programs e.g. anger at a video game automatically triggers a 'cooling down' phase of gameplay

The next generation of Remote Site Recording systems

• A HD recorder for up to 4 cameras.
  
• Seamless integration of videos into The Observer XT or EthoVision XT
• Solar charger for extended recording

A new lab at Kingston University

The Observation Laboratory in Psychology at Kingston University has been renovated by Tracksys. The Lab is designed to be a flexible research space for experiments across disciplines.

New Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras and microphones are installed and video and audio is captured by the Noldus Media Recorder. The Observer XT 11 is used to analyse the recordings, and to integrate physiological and eye tracking data. The lab. is used to study user-artefact interactions, conduct focus group research, and observe parent-child communications.

Dr Gaëlle Villejoubert and Prof Frédéric Vallée-Tourangeau are already using the Observer to study how material artefacts may support cognitive functioning in decision-making and problem-solving tasks. Learn more about their work here

Dr Jo Van Herwegen explores early vocabulary in toddlers with developmental disorders (such as Williams syndrome). She uses the Observer software to analyse the language and communication used by the parent and child during play sessions. Learn more about her research here

A new team member in Behavioural Neuroscience!

We have a new team member in Behavioural Pharmacology! Dr Stephanie Body joined us late in 2012 to support our Behavioural Neuroscience and Pharmacology customers.

Stephanie gained her Ph.D at Nottingham University examining the role of 5-HT receptors in interval timing behaviour and inter-temporal choice. As a post-doc Stephanie used operant behaviour paradigms and pharmacological intervention techniques.

Stephanie is currently contacting all our EthoVision, DanioVision, CatWalk and PhenoLab users to say hello. If you would like to chat to Stephanie about how our range of behavioural measurement tools could help your research please feel free to contact her.

CatWalk XT 10 Tour February 2013

• Illuminated Footprints technology allowing the analysis of real footprint and body weight distribution
• Automatic Footprint Classification
• Interactive Footprint measurement - including the Sciatic Functional Index
• Unforced voluntary movement - no gait disturbances introduced by forced movement

If you'd like see CatWalk please contact us
