Improved Behavioral Box and Sensing Techniques for Analysis of Tactile Discrimination Tasks in Rodents.

Neuroscience behavioral studies stand out among the research works in this area. In these studies, normally, rodents are put inside closed platforms known as behavioral boxes in order to perform tasks and have their behaviors observed by way of sensors and annotations by hand. In this work, we aim to improve this research process by developing new techniques based upon the full automation of the behavioral box processes for more easily acquiring data.
