Zone 3 Figure 4 shows the area(s) in the apparatus which correspond to this zone. Position of the Zone 2 zone in the New apparatus. While tracking the system will highlight this zone whenever it considers that the animal is within it.įigure 3. The system will consider that the animal is in this zone whenever its centre point is within the zone. Zone 2 Figure 3 shows the area(s) in the apparatus which correspond to this zone. Position of the Zone 1 zone in the New apparatus. While tracking the system will highlight this zone whenever it considers that the animal is within it.įigure 2. the apparent entry at the start of the test will be ignored. If the animal starts the test in this zone then the system will wait until it exits the zone and re-enters it before considering that it has 'entered' the zone i.e. Zone 1 Figure 2 shows the area(s) in the apparatus which correspond to this zone. Figure 1 shows the apparatus map for this apparatus, the 'ruler' line shown in the map represents a real-world distance of 9 millimetres. New apparatus The image of this apparatus is provided by the New video source video source.
The source uses the entire captured image which measures 464 x 456 pixels. New video source Images for this source are captured from the Water-maze example image interface which is viewing the apparatus from above. However, the system won't assign the animals to the treatment groups and this will have to be done manually by the user. the treatment groups will be assigned random single letter codes the meanings of which will be hidden from the user. Under this protocol experiments will be run blind - i.e. This means all features of the system will be available. This protocol specifies that ANY-maze will operate in Video tracking mode.
