Description

Behavior. Neuroscience. Stimulation.

Smart I/O is an enhanced version of the Panlab SMART 3.0 video-tracking for the combined evaluation of behavior with the neural recording and stimulation (electrical and optogenetics).

The importance of the use of video recording and video tracking tools is signifi cant in this context for ensuring a reliable assessment of behavior in neuroscience research.

  • Combine the evaluation of behavior with the evaluation of neural recording and stimulation(electrical and optogenetics).
  • Use multidisciplinary approach for a better understanding of the brain functions and their intrinsic mechanisms.

Integrated stimulation protocol editor

  • Integrated feedback loop between behavior and stimulation.
  • Stimulus input/output interface through the Panlab I/O interface (2 stimulation channels, Pulse TTL ON/OFF signal or Pulse Train)
  • Stimulation can be automatically triggered depending on user-defi ned conditions: zone entry/exit, time delay,manual key pressing, etc.

Benefits

  • SAVE TIME: Save Time Focus your time effort on your research, don’t waste it with complex tools. SMART I/O is a user-friendly solutions for video recording and automated behavior assessment in small laboratory animals.
  • REFINE YOUR STUDIES: Refi ne your behavioral studies using multidisciplinary approaches. SMART I/O provides all the essential functions for combining behavior with electrical and optogenetics stimulations.
  • ENHANCE PRODUCTIVITY: Enhance the productivity of your experiments with the SMART I/O boosted platform, multiple arenas and multiple camera options. More data,less time.

Provided data

  • Summary tables directly exportable to Excel and providing calculation for each user-defined zones and/or time intervals.
  • Wide variety of standard calculations related to tracking: time/distance/entries in zones, average speed... 
  • Zone transition, global activity and events list reporting the time evolution of specific calculations and distribution of their occurrence.
  • Track coordinates reports (X,Y,Z)
  • Group evolution graphs and Track image exportation

Computer requirements - RAM

SMART I/O is not designed to make use of the RAM memory above the first 4 Gb. The more RAM memory installed in the computer, the longer a data acquisition session can be.

Computer requirements - HD

150 MB of free hard disk space. The more free disk space, the longer the digital video recording can be.

Computer requirements - Graphics

1280 x1024 pixels and 32-bit true color. Screen text size must be set at 96 DPI (100%).

Computer requirements - Operative system

Microsoft® Windows® 7 - 32/64 bits; Windows® 8 - 32/64 bits, Windows® 10 - 32/64 bits

Computer requirements - ports

One free USB 2.0 port needed for the software protection key. Additional USB ports are needed when using a webcam or a USB analog-digital converter. PCI port neede when using PCI digitizer cards.

Computer requirements - chipset

Incompatibilities with VIA chipset have been detected so it is extremely recommended to avoid this chipset in the PC’s motherboard.

Image source supported

Analogue cameras through the analog-digital video converter (CONVANAUSB), USB standard webcam, USB DV camera (IDS 2.0, Basler 3.0, WIA-compatible devices with a DirectShow driver included, PCI USB cards).
