Companies operating in a broad range of behavior-related disciplines
had been invited to exhibit their products at the conference. This included
manufacturers of behavioral research equipment, activity monitors, microdialysis
equipment, physiological sensors, biotelemetry and radio tracking systems,
bat detectors, eye-tracking systems, biomechanics equipment, biofeedback
systems, etc. Measuring Behavior 2000 was a great place to get
up-to-date with what is on the market for modern behavioral research.
The following companies were present at Measuring Behavior 2000:
