A microcomputer-based system for detailed analysis of rat behavior

A microcomputer-based system that can measure rotational behavior and moving velocity is described. Infrared photobeams detect the animal behavior. One advantage of this system is that data can be stored on floppy disks and analyzed in arbitrary time intervals. This system may be useful for detailed analysis of rat behavior in physiological or psychopharmacological experiments.
