AI Article Synopsis
- A multidirectional treadmill has been developed to study how insects orient themselves in various directions.
- It allows researchers to track insect movements in a full 360-degree range for up to 12 hours.
- The data collected helps measure how much the insects deviate from random movement, providing insights into their reactions to different stimuli.
Article Abstract
A multidirectional treadmill for the study of insect orientation is described. The movements of an insect throughout 360 degrees can be recorded for periods up to 12 hours. The extent of deviation from randomness serves as a quantitative measure of reaction to a given stimulus.
