产品概要

Technical Specs

The Second Generation Bussey Chambers with Intelli-interface supports up to 20 chambers on one PC. On the strength of 10 years of feedback and development, the system is even more flexible and with more features.

A Decade of continuous development

First developed in the 2009 at Cambridge University, the Bussey Saksida Rodent Touch Screen Chambers are now used by over 300 different Research Groups in at least 26 countries. The Bussey-Saksida Chamber has always featured a unique trapezoidal wall shape in order to focus the animal's attention and facilitates the efficient and high-throughput cognitive evaluation of rodents. The chamber is easily reconfigured to a modular square arena with panels, levers, lights, and a range of other operators to accommodate any task like an operant chamber equipped with a traditional lever or nose-poke.

Chambers Include

Trapezoid walls in a non-reflective finish, to keep the animals focus on the screen and reducing distraction away from the screen.
Ultra-sensitive Touch Screen to consistently detect a mouse nose-poke to the touchscreen. Commercially available touchscreens are not sensitive enough to reliably detect every nosepoke.
A reward trough that can be place opposite or in front of the screen. While most tasks require the reward trough to be opposite the screen, some tasks (e.g. Autoshaping) require the reward in front of the screen.
Pellet or Liquid reward.
Activity beams to detect when the animal is at the back or front of the chamber.
House and IR lighting
Core Intelli-interface

Designed to be ‘plug n play’ and highly productive.

Chambers installed on our Easy Install System, ready to wheel in your lab. Attach the PC and you are ready to go.
Fully validated ready written Task Suites which come with training paradigms and testing guidance.
ABET Cognition Software gives you programming power, data analysis, versatility, and flexibility; video and audio control also included.
Virtual Interface enables the user to easily write their own scheduling and assess the data away from the lab.
On-line training to get your lab quickly working with high productivity.

Paradigms

Easy Install System

The Bussey-Saksida chamber allows usage of standard, original, and customized paradigms. Standard Task Paradigms are available by arrangement with the University of Cambridge. Standard tasks include popular Tasks such as PD, PAL, 5CSRT, PRC, Location Discrimination, and many more. The rodent tasks range from simple to complex and are virtually identical to tasks used with NHP & human populations on the CANTAB system. All paradigms include training routines as well as the main experimental paradigm and the data analysis sets.
